Lafcadio

While sharing phonetic similarities with names from Italian and Spanish roots, the name Lafcadio is of Greek origin. The meaning of Lafcadio is linked to a place rather than a word as it comes from the Greek island, 'Lefkada'. While the name of the beautiful island is often linked to the Greek word for 'white', this translation is rarely linked to Lafcadio. A fun fact about Lafcadio is that it is the middle name of Patrick Lafcadio Hearn, a Greek-Japenese-Irish writer known for bringing literature knowledge from Japan to the world. Having been born on the Greek island Lefkada, Patrick later went on to change his name to Koizumi Yakumo to suit his Japanese endeavors. Thus, with such prominent links, Lafcadio is a baby name often used for boys and can be seen as the first, middle, or even given name.
