What was Martin Luther's middle name?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

If 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.

Answer 3

Martin Luther did not have a middle name in the modern sense, as middle names were not commonly used during his time. However, he was born as Martin Luder on November 10, 1483, in Eisleben, Germany. He later changed his name to Martin Luther after becoming a monk.

Answer 4

Honey, Martin Luther didn't have a middle name. He was just Martin Luther, like Madonna or Cher. So, no need to go digging for a middle name that doesn't exist. Just keep it simple and call him Martin Luther.

Answer 5

Oh, dude, Martin Luther's middle name was actually "Luther." I know, mind-blowing, right? It's like his parents were just like, "You know what would be cool? Let's name him Martin Luther Luther." Classic move.
