He entered the University of Erfurt under the name "Martinus Ludher Mansfeldt." He likely did not have a middle name, as they were not customary in his time. However a baptismal name was often given after a Saint or biblical figure. In 1517, he changed his name from Luder to Luther, as did his parents because "Luder" as an old German word has other negative meanings.

∙ 14y agoIf you're talking about Martin Luther King Jr. then his middle name is Luther after the German creator of Lutheranism which was made in the 1500's. The actual German monk may not have had a middle name but instead a confirmation name because in those times people weren't often given middle names.
