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