Loïc Wacquant, Wacquant, 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 (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 [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Given Name
A given name (also known as a forename or first name) is the part of a personal name quoted in that identifies a person, potentially with a middle name as well, and differentiates that person from the other members of a group (typically a family or clan) who have a common surname. The term ''given name'' refers to a name usually bestowed at or close to the time of birth, usually by the parents of the newborn. A ''Christian name'' is the first name which is given at baptism, in Christian custom. In informal situations, given names are often used in a familiar and friendly manner. In more formal situations, a person's surname is more commonly used. The idioms 'on a first-name basis' and 'being on first-name terms' refer to the familiarity inherent in addressing someone by their given name. By contrast, a surname (also known as a family name, last name, or ''gentile name, gentile'' name) is normally inherited and shared with other members of one's immediate family. Regnal names ...
