Meaning & History
Derived from Latin laudatus meaning "praised, lauded, commended, esteemed", which is ultimately derived from Latin laudo meaning "to praise, to laud, to commend".Also, in some cases, the name is a latinization of a non-latinate name. A good example of this is the obscure Welsh saint Lleudadd (6th century AD), whose name was often latinized to Laudatus.
