Loïc

Loïc is a personal forename chiefly used in France and more specifically is a Breton name.

Origins

There is some disagreement over the origin of the name. The most widely accepted origin is that it is the Breton form of the name Louis [ [http://www.behindthename.com/name/loi12c Behind the name] ] [ [http://www.mfnames.com/mnames/l/origin-and-meaning-of-loic.htm Origin and Meaning of Loïc] ] , and therefore means "Famed Warrior". [ [http://www.babynames.com/name/LOIC BabyNames.com] Please note that this reference compares the name to Lewis, rather than Louis. One origin of the name Lewis is the same root as the name Louis ] A second, 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. [ [http://www.babynamer.com/Lo%C3%AFc Babynamer.com] ]
