Lubka is Slavic in Origin.

Lubka is a Slavic feminine name from the Proto-Slavic root ljub-, meaning love, beloved, or dear, reflected in verbs like Russian lyubit, Bulgarian liubya, and Ukrainian liubyty. It began as an affectionate diminutive of names built on this root - especially Luba/Lyuba (short for Lyubov, “love”) and longer forms such as Lyubomira or Ľubica - and in several regions has become an independent given name.

Used across South and East Slavic communities, Lubka appears in Bulgaria (often spelled Lyubka), Ukraine and Russia (Lyubka/Liubka as a familiar pet form), and Slovakia (Ľubka). Documentary use as a standalone name is noted from the late 19th and 20th centuries, paralleling broader Slavic naming revivals. Variant spellings follow local scripts and transliterations: Lyubka, Liubka, Ljubka, Ľubka. Related names include Luba/Lyuba, Ljubica/Ľubica, Lyubov, and Lyubomira. The meaning centers on “beloved” or “dear one,” giving the name a warm, intimate tone with deep traditional roots.
