'''Hugues''' is a masculine given name most often found in francophone countries, a variant of the originally Germanic name "[[Hugo (name) |Hugo]]" or "[[Hugh (name)| Hugh]]". The final ''s'' marks the [[nominative case]] in [[Old French]], but is not retained by modern pronunciation (such as in English: [[Charles]], [[Giles (given name)|Giles]], [[James (name)|James]], etc.). The old [[oblique case]] ''[[Hugon]]'' (''[[Huon (disambiguation)|Huon]]'', ''[[Yon (disambiguation)|Yon]]'') disappeared.
