Wysłouch is the name of a Lithuanian-Polish aristocratic family. It was first mentioned in 1385, when alongside with a number of Lithuanian noble clans it was admitted in the ranks of the Polish nobility. That fact implies that Wysłouch family was prominent even before that date, as only the most influential Lithuanian clans were knighted by the Poles. The Wysłouch family used the "Odyniec" arms.
