Loukianos is Greek in Origin.

Loukianos is the Hellenic form of the Roman name Lucianus, a derivative of the praenomen Lucius. Lucius stems from Latin lux, “light,” and Lucianus originally meant “of/belonging to Lucius”; by association, the name carries the luminous sense of “light” or “born at dawn.” In Greek, Λουκιανός has been used since antiquity and the early Christian era.

Notable bearers include Loukianos (Lucian) of Samosata, the 2nd‑century satirist, and St. Loukianos of Antioch, a revered early martyr, which secured the name in Byzantine and Orthodox calendars. Modern usage is uncommon but steady in Greece and Cyprus, with cross‑language counterparts: Lucian (English, Romanian), Luciano (Italian, Spanish, Portuguese), Lucien (French), Lukian/Lukyan (Russian, Ukrainian), Lucjan (Polish), Lucijan (Croatian, Slovene), and Loukianos/Λουκιανός in Greek. Related feminine forms are Luciana, Lucienne, and Luciane; common short forms include Lou and Luc.
