The base is *(h1)leudH- > Gmc. *liud-, *liud-i- > OE le:od (f.), OS liud, OHG liut (m.), pl. liuti > Modern German Leute. Gothic preserves the related verb <liudan> 'grow, increase' = OE le:odan (*le:ad, ludon, -loden). Virtually identical nouns meaning "folk, nation" or providing a suppletive plural ("people") for "person, man" are also found in Slavic and Baltic (e.g. Polish pl. ludzie 'people' < sg. collective *ljudIje < *leudH-ejo-m).
