The baby name Lucas is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced English: /ˈluːkəs/ (LOO-kəs).
Lucas is Latin in Origin.
Lucas is the Latin form of Greek Loukas (Λουκᾶς), meaning “man from Lucania,” a region in southern Italy; by folk etymology it is often linked to Latin lux, “light.” The name entered Christian tradition through Saint Luke the Evangelist, a 1st‑century physician and author of the Gospel of Luke and Acts. Carried through the Vulgate as Lucas, it spread widely in medieval Europe and also became a hereditary surname in several countries.
International variants include Luke (English), Luc (French), Loukas (Greek), Luca (Italian/Romanian), Lukas (German, Scandinavian), Łukasz (Polish), Luka (Slavic), Luuk (Dutch), and Lluc (Catalan); feminine cognates include Lucia/Lucie. Popularity surged from the late 20th century, ranking highly today across North America, Europe, and Latin America. Meaning is typically rendered as “from Lucania” or poetically “bringer of light.”
