What is the meaning of the name Ludmylla ?

Ludmylla is Slavic in Origin.

Ludmylla is a modern respelling of the Slavic feminine name Ludmila (Russian Lyudmila, Ukrainian Liudmyla, Polish Ludmiła), from Slavic lud “people” and mil “dear, gracious,” meaning “beloved of the people.” The name rose to prominence via Saint Ludmila of Bohemia, a 10th‑century duchess and martyr, and remains rooted across Central and Eastern Europe. Her veneration during Bohemia’s Christianization helped carry the name from noble courts into village tradition.

It spread in Czech and Slovak lands and became common in Russia and Ukraine; Pushkin’s Ruslan and Ludmila fixed it in literature. Variants include Ludmila, Ludmiła, Lyudmila, and Liudmyla; short forms are Lyuda/Luda, Mila, and Ludka. The double‑l Ludmylla echoes modern style while offering the familiar nickname Mila and the name’s traditional meaning. In Czech calendars the name day falls on 16 September, tied to the saint’s feast.
