Loïc
Loïc or Loick is a male personal forename chiefly used in Brittany, in western France, and in the Breton community in French-speaking countries. Origins ''Loïc'' is a Breton given name, based on ''Laou'', a Breton diminutive of ''Gwilherm'' or ''Gwilhom'' (as ''Bill'' or ''Liam'' is to ''William''), with the diminutive ending ''ig'' (like ''Billy''). Bretons who do not speak Breton often think it is the Breton form of the name ''Louis''. In Provence, in southeastern France, many think that it actually is "the old Provençal form of Louis", in which case it means "famed warrior". Another less well accepted derivation is from ''Loukas'', a Greek name meaning "from Lucania" (whose usual French form is ''Luc'' (see Luke (name)). Notable people with the name Loïc * |
