Loann is a French variant of Elouan.
Elouan itself is likely derived from a Breton word meaning "light" and was the name of an obscure 6th-century saint venerated mainly in Brittany and Cornwall. The name entered French usage through regional devotion to this saint and has gained popularity as a given name for boys, with variants Loan and Lohan. The feminine form is Loane.
