Etymology
Lutheranism comes from the name Luther, after Martin Luther, a German priest who began a new church movement, and the ending -ism, meaning 'belief' or 'system'. So Lutheranism means the 'beliefs of Luther', which is why the word names the branch of Christianity that follows his teaching that people are saved through faith.
