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, with the diminutive ending ig. 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".
