What is the meaning of the name Lucca ?

The baby name Lucca is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced English: LOO-kə (/ˈluːkə/); Italian: LOO-kka (/ˈlukːa/).

Lucca is Greek in Origin.

The name Lucca is a modern variant of Luca/Luke, ultimately from Latin Lucas, itself from Greek Loukas meaning "man from Lucania," a region of southern Italy; by folk etymology it is also associated with Latin lux, "light." Lucca also matches the storied Tuscan city encircled by Renaissance walls, so the spelling can carry a place-name vibe as well as classical roots.

Borne in many forms since early Christianity through veneration of St. Luke the Evangelist, the core name spread across Europe. As a given name, the Lucca spelling has risen in the 21st century in English-speaking countries and Brazil, sometimes used unisex but more commonly masculine, while in Italy it remains chiefly a toponym or surname. Variants and cognates include Luca (Italian, Romanian, Hungarian), Luka (Slavic), Lucas (Spanish/Portuguese), Lukas (German/Scandinavian), Luke (English), Loukas (Greek), Luc (French), and Luukas (Finnish/Estonian). Related feminine forms are Lucia, Lucie, and Lucy.
