The baby name Lok is a Male name , 1 syllables long and is pronounced {'Sanskrit/Hindi': '/loːk/ (lohk)', 'Cantonese': "/lɔːk/ (lok, similar to 'lock' with an open o)", 'Vietnamese': "/lɔk/ (Lộc/Loc, short 'o' + final k)"}.
Lok is Hindi, Sanskrit, Vietnamese in Origin.
Lok is a multicultural given name and surname. In Cantonese romanization, Lok represents several Chinese characters, notably 樂 "joy; music" (as given name and surname) and 駱 "camel" and 洛 "Luo River" (surnames or name elements). In Hong Kong and overseas Chinese communities, Lok has been used as a standalone given name or part of compound names since the mid-20th century. Meanings depend on the chosen character and range from "joy" to geographic associations.
Beyond Chinese, Lok intersects with other traditions: Vietnamese Lộc (with diacritic) is a common male name from Sino-Vietnamese 祿 "blessing, prosperity," often written "Loc" abroad; in South Asia, lok from Sanskrit loka "world, people" appears in names such as Lokesh or Loknath and may be shortened to Lok; and Scandinavian Loke, similar in sound but not origin, derives from the Norse Loki. Related forms include Lok, Lộc/Loc, Loke, Luo/Le/Yue, and Locke.
