Toponymy


The term "Ludgine" is a female given name of French origin.

Until recently, maps designated this watercourse under the toponym “Eugenie River”. The term "Ludgine" could be the popular diminutive of "Ludger" or the graphic synthesis of "Ludger" and "Eugenie". Another hypothesis attributes the name of "Ludgine" to an Amerindian named Eugénie, who lived in Rang Ludgine, in Lac-Drolet, near the river. The English pronunciation of the first name would have led to the spelling "Ludgine".[2]

The toponym “Rivière Ludgine” was made official on January 31, 1980, at the Commission de toponymie du Québec.[3]
