Re: Use of LOYET in France or elsewhere?

Loyet is not listed in Besnard & Desplanques's La cote des prenoms en 2004, which probably means that if the name exists in France today it is rare, with fewer than ten children born in the entire country receiving the name every year.

Thank you for the information!
This is interesting, as "St-Loyer" gives you 10,000 hits at Google and you only get about 10 for "St-Lothaire". So the saint's name would still be Loyer whereas the given name used nowadays is Lothaire. I wonder why this is.
