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. 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.
