Lodomeria
Lodomeria is an Austrian spelling for Vladimir county. Vladimir is a royal name and a name for the county capital. It has bothing to do with Lugii. The Polish inhabitants used to retaliate by altering the name to Glodomoria, which means ‘Starving land’. --Yecril 17:51, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Łużyce
The name Łużyce (Lugitze) stems from *łuża (lugia) and means puddleland. Incidentally, other regions in Poland bear similar names: Śląsk (Slioesc, Silesia) means moistland, Mazowsze (Mazovkie, Mazovia) and Mazury mean mudland. -- Yecril 18:04, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Kadłubek
How can You take Kadłubek seriously? 212.87.13.67 (talk) 17:59, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

This is quite scary, Kadlubek's chronicle has hardly any historical value and is known to be a collection of totally nonsensical, pseudohistorical stories (Poles fighting Alexander the Great and so on, basically rubbish) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.134.160.229 (talk) 20:09, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Absolutely no Slavic, maybe Balts
Slavic propaganda attempts, making pseudo-science, are bothersome. It is established historical knowledge that in given time Slavic people lived far to South -Carpathes-were they made first undisputed appearance in history as confederates of Hunnic horde. From 5 leaders of Hunnic horde 3 had Slavic names. The Slavic language also includes Scythian and Gothic words, which is geographically sticks to the place,said above, of their first appearance. Even the name Slavic coming from the time when Slavic were confederates of another Asian horde -Avars /Carpatia-Moldavia/, who's defeat to Franks led to massive capture of Slavic warriors Latin- Slavere-Captured.The Slavic escapees after Frankish victory made it to Western Ukraine and Southern Poland. Simple put by all means if one name could be enough -Lugii-which is not Lugii would be Balts. In survived Baltic Liaudi, Laudi means folk field in Lithuanian field is Laukos maybe it related to Russian Lug, mentioned in post above. The territory sticks to territory of proto-Balts, but Slavic propaganda always ignore Baltic languages and use any similarity to their benefit in very non-scientific way. I would note that many early Medieval names of Baltic provinces have obvious relation to Celtic -like Galindia, Zemigalia few others.Words Lugus and Lug,Lugh are the names of the pan-Celtic God and legendary HighKing.This name eventually exists in German also. There is city Lug on the Western border of Germany. There was also tribe called Ligures in N. Italy.Plutarch mentiones the confusion, when one of the tribes of Teutono-Cimbri alliance-Ambrones shouted the name of their ancestor, during the battle against Romans and Ligurians, Ligurians shouted the same name in the same fashion, which led to confusion, which helped Romans out.

The Lugii were Celts??
I'm very surprised by the assertion in the article that the Lugii may have been Celts, merely, it would seem, because the spelling of the name of the town, Belz, happens to corresponds with that of a place in Brittany! This possible connection appears spurious and needs to be amplified by reference to authoritative sources, or else eliminated altogether from the article.86.138.117.166 (talk) 12:10, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

I'd argue that the name Lug is very Celtic and was a prominent god after which Lyon (Lug dunensis) is named as well as tribal, clan and personal names from Ireland, Britain and Gaul and they happen to be just north of the Celtic Boii. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.20.70.88 (talk) 11:14, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

lugii - peoples
G like in George in polish is pronounced dżordż or dźiordż thus substitunion g=dż/dź in lugii give ludźii and ludź/ludzie mean peoples.
 * and not just in polish language/ lugi, ljudi, luge means people, and nothing else — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.28.0.140 (talk) 20:08, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

Buri is the most popular Germanic name
Buri the nation as the of part of Lugi is the most Germanic name ,which can be found. Bo,bor -means to live, to inhabit, to be farmer in Scandinavian , for example. From here also word village in Scandinavian- singular By ,plural Byar Vikings also brought it to Britain ,where some villages name ends on it  New-by ,Scot-by,Kirk-by etc. It also related the ethymology of 2 later definitely Germanic nations Bayer-Bavarians and Boers - Dutch farmers in Sothern Africa. Possible that their -Buri-name is the origin of Bayer-Bavarians Edelward (talk) 22:54, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

 * yes but what germanic means? arabic traveler equate germans with sqaqaliba of free slavs. also german or herman is derivation of harman or arman(armenian)meaning mountain people in hebrew language. when people say something is this or that, they should be able to explain what the other description means. after all, the first "gremanic" union was composed of vandals, lugii (uguro-finnes) and alans(turkic). so now i have to explain what uguro-finnic and turkic means :). you see? it's not as simple as that.185.5.4.175 (talk) 12:02, 22 September 2015 (UTC)

Vandili
Pliny the elder mentions the Vandili, which probably is an alternative name for the Lugii.2.248.57.23 (talk) 11:26, 26 April 2019 (UTC)
