Luca
Luca is the Italian version of the Engish name Luke. In turn, Luke is a diminutive form of the Greek name Loukas and Loukas is a variation of Loukanos, which means ‘the one from Lucania, Italy’. Luca is also taken from the Latin name Lucus, which is a derivative of Lucius. The root of Lucius is 'lux' and hence the meaning of the name Luca is also ‘light’, ‘brightness’, ‘shine’ or ‘bringer of light’. Another origin of Luca can be credited to ‘lucus’, which means ‘sacred wood’, and to ‘lykos’, which translates to ‘wolf’. Lucania was a historical place located in the South of Italy. The Lucani tribe resided in and around Lucania and spoke the Oscan language. Inhabitants of the present-day Basilicata region are still referred to as the Lucani.
