You shouldn't bat out!
At the weekend, I will make more digging. The citations above are only ad hoc selections from a few hundred URL produced by Google. In Hungary, many small village has little local museum, one or two room, handled by "aunt Mary from third house right to the grocery, she gives you the key if you can find her". Today, they have an internet site. We can reach them hundreds in a quarter, instead of a fortnight travel.
You may use the name Ludwig. In fact, I have a working "attilathehun@
<guesswhat>.hu email address.
You know,
Hungary begins with
Hun. We have a myth about divine brothers named
Hunor and Magor. Hunor is the forefather of the Huns, Magor is the forefather of the "magyarok" (=hungarians).
As I have german ancestors, too, my nickname the Ludwig is the german version of my baptismal name Lajos. (We don't call it first name, because we write the family name first!)

From the Germanic name Hludwig which meant "famous warrior", composed of the elements hlud "fame" and wig "warrior". This was the name of three Merovingian kings of the Franks, though their names are usually spelled in the Latinized form Clovis. Other famous bearers include the German composer Ludwig van Beethoven and the Austrian philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein, who contributed to logic and the philosophy of language.
