Help[Opinions] Opinion - French family name
Hi everyone!
My grandmother's maiden name was Lucot (LOO-coh), and Chazda mentioned that it wouldn't make the most horrid middle name. Did some more thinking, and remembered that great-grandpa George Lucot was (to our knowledge) the longest-elected county sheriff in CA history. Using Lucot as a boy's mn could be an interesting way to remember that. Opinions? I've been told it's French. And, Miss Claire, please let me know the authenticity or what the meaning is over in France. Thanks, guys!

Lucot indeed seems French, from a peasant background (peasants liked to add a -ot in the end of the names, as a pet form). Lucot would be in the origins a pet form of Luc.
The real French prononciation wouldn't be "loo", but a French "u" (there's no sign for it on this site's list...). Like in Victor Hugo, "du pain"...

I love it! What a great idea. It has a really nice sound.

I think it's a nice middle name, especially since it's honoring your great-grandpa.
