ArchivesRe: Meaning of "Lojan" ?
in reply to a message by Lenka14
There is a Polish surname, Lojan, spelt with a barred L, so pronounced something like WOyahn. I can't find a meaning for it though.

From what I've been able to gather, Lojan is a Czech and Slovak surname. If it's related to Polish Łojan and Łojan is a variant of surnames like Łojek, Łojko, etc., then it could be derived from the word meaning 'tallow, suet' (Polish łój, Slovak loj, Czech lůj).
