Loïc Brabant
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 (like Bill is a diminutive of William), with the diminutive ending ''ig'' (like Billy). Non-Breton speaking Bretons 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 explanation of the origin of the name is that its source is "Loukas", a Greek name meaning "''One from Lucania''". This would group the name with other names that have this root, such as Luke, Luc and Lucas. Notable people with the name< ...
