My mother was named Loeta. My only sister is named Loeta. We know nothing of the history of the name. My mother was born in Missouri in 1920. Her father died soon after her birth and he named her. We know nothing of our grandfather except for one
old photo of him. He looks like an American Indian. Missouri was where a lot of the tribes were forced to go in the late 1800s. His name was
Tom Hill. The name will die
when my sister goes. All of her brothers saved the name Loeta for her to use, but she
had all sons. I would have liked to have named my daughter Loeta, but we saved it for
my sisters future children.
