ArchivesRe: Origins of female names Diadema and Lodusky
in reply to a message by Dana Siegmund
"Diadema" appears to be a created name from the Latin (via Greek) work "diadem", just as you had surmised.
"Lodusky" is related to the following, 19th century, once-popular but now obsolete (in the U.S.A.) feminine names: "Ladusky", "Ludusky", "Laduska", "Loduska", "Luduska".
All of these names are variations of the more familiar "Louise ", derived from the Germanic/Swedish/Slavic forms: "Ludovika", "Ludwiga", "Ludoisia", etc.
