Person B: “That’s on me, I set the bar too low.”
Clovis is also the modern French rendition of that name. In Old Frankish it was something like Chlodowig. Hence why king Louis is called Lodewijk in Dutch and Ludwig in German.
It comes from the Old German Hlutwik (various possible spelling) meaning “Famous warrior”. Polish language even have two versions of it - Ludwik straight from German and Alojzy from French.
