History & Origin

Loann belongs to a wave of Ann-blends. It appeared from the early nineteen-thirties, echoed the popularity of Joann, and reached a modest high in 1957.

The name was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at most, and its brief run closed by the late nineteen-sixties. A woman named Loann at that peak would be near seventy today, from an era when two-part Ann names were briefly in style.

Did you know? The tacked-on Ann, from Hebrew Hannah for grace, powered a whole set of mid-century blends, and Loann is one of the quieter members of that Joann and LuAnn family.
