The name is a play on “langue d’Oc,” the ancient language of Occitania in southern France and the name of the Languedoc region.

The local chefs say the recipe's name comes from the word "truffe," which meant potato in Langue d'Oc, a dialect spoken in the southern half of the country in medieval France.

Even Saracenic elements were not wanting to make up the strange admixture of races which rendered the citizen of Narbonne or Marseilles so different a being from the inhabitant of Paris—quite as different as the Langue d’Oc from the Langue d’Oyl.

Here we came upon the first traces--a Spanish pedler, a Navarrese bonnet--of that strange borderland between Spain and Western France in which three languages and a dozen patois, French, Spanish, Basque, the Langue d'Oc, the Langue d'Or, and Gascon and Proven�al and the tongue of Andorra, and I know not what others, are fighting for the mastery: where two great nations now peaceably march, dividing between them the wild country where the kingdom of Navarre once sat enthroned on hills with the free Basque communities about her.

For their language, the langue d'oui, see under Langue d'oc.
