The Origins of
Ludlow
The word Ludlow originated as early as 1138 when the name appeared in
records for a settlement
in England that was originally spelled Lodelowe and pronounced hlud
hlaw. At this time, the Teme River contained rapids and so the hlud of
Ludlow came from the "loud waters," while low (hlaw) meant
"hill." Thus, Ludlow meant a place on a hill by a loud river. A
massive castle was begun around this time and stands today as a tourist
attraction. For more on the history of Ludlow, England, click
