📖 Acerca de Lyudmila
Lyudmila es la forma rusa y ucraniana del antiguo nombre eslavo Ludmila, compuesto por las raices eslavas lyudy (pueblo) y mila (graciosa, querida, amada), con el significado de 'amada por el pueblo'. El nombre cobro relevancia historica a traves de Santa Ludmila de Bohemia (h. 860-921), duquesa martir cuya labor evangelizadora y cuya canonizacion dejaron una huella profunda en Europa Central y del Este. Alexander Pushkin inmortalizo la forma rusa en su poema romantico 'Ruslan y Lyudmila' (1820), consolidando su presencia en el imaginario cultural eslavo. El nombre alcanzo su mayor popularidad en la Union Sovietica durante los anos cincuenta y sesenta del siglo XX, y sigue siendo un clasico en Rusia, Ucrania, Bulgaria y Bielorrusia. Sus formas abreviadas mas queridas son Lyuda, Lyusya y la paneslava Mila.
