Discover distinctive Luxembourgish names that reflect regional heritage, multilingual influence, and authentic character for your stories and creative worlds.
Luxembourgish names reflect a range of influences, including French, Germanic, and Luxembourgish. Names that are popular internationally are also popular in Luxembourg.
Luxembourgish family names are often derived from places, the names of male ancestors, descriptive nicknames, or occupations.
In Luxembourg, names usually follow the Western format of a given name followed by a family name. Multiple given names are allowed.
Since 2006, it’s been possible for children to receive their mother’s surname, father’s surname, or both. If they’re given both, the names can’t be hyphenated, and the child can only receive one name from each parent (so two in all). Prior to 2006, they received their father’s surname automatically.
Here are examples inspired by traditional and modern Luxembourgish naming conventions, influenced by Germanic and Romance traditions:
Luc Schmit
Anne Muller
Tom Weber
Sophie Hoffmann
Michel Krier
Claire Thill
Jean-Paul Becker
Nina Klein
