Loeky is in Origin.
Loeky is a rare Dutch pet form rooted in Loek, a nickname for Lucas/Lukas, ultimately from Latin lux, meaning "light" or "illumination." The y-ending reflects a modernized, international spelling; more traditional Dutch forms prefer -i/-ie. The name appears sporadically in the Netherlands and Flanders and in Dutch-speaking diaspora communities, where diminutives are often used as given names in their own right.
Close variants and cognates include Loeki/Loekie (Dutch), Loek and Luuk (Dutch short forms), Lucas/Lukas and Luke (English), as well as Luca and Luka in wider Europe. Feminine counterparts are Lucia, Lucie, and Lucy, all sharing the "light" meaning. While primarily associated with boys via Loek/Lucas, Loeky can be unisex in diminutive use, sometimes applied to girls as a familiar of Lucia. Recognition in Dutch popular culture of the spelling Loeki has also supported the name's visibility.
Loeky is rarely chosen. In all, it turns up just 18 times, across 1 country.
