The name means "settlement of the people of Lubantos ". Lovendegem used to be a complicated patchwork of heerlijkheden and one barony. The religious wars of the late 16th century and the subsequent repression by the Iron Duke caused a near abandonment of Lovendegem. For most of its history, it was an agricultural community. From the 1960s onwards, Lovendegem developed into a residential town. and experienced a steady population growth.
