Luitgard

Luitgard is a German female name.

The name comes from Old High German and means "[female] guardian of the people" (German: Beschützerin des Volks). This derives, in its older form, Liutgard, from liut which means "people" (Modern German: Leute), "member of a people",^[1] and gard which means "protection" or "guardianship", from which the German word Garten and the English word "garden" are also derived.

Its name day is 16 October, the same date as that of the Blessed Luitgard of Wittichen.
