Lucrecía is Latin in Origin.
Lucrecía is a rare Spanish variant of Lucrecia, the feminine form of the ancient Roman family name Lucretia. The name’s root is uncertain: many derive it from Latin lucrum "profit, wealth," while others suggest an Etruscan source. This accented spelling forces a four-syllable pronunciation lu-kre-SEE-ah, distinguishing it from the more common three-syllable Lucrecia.
It entered European naming from the famed Roman matron Lucretia, whose story symbolized honor and catalyzed the Roman Republic; Renaissance and Catholic cultures kept it in use. International variants include Lucrecia (Spanish), Lucrécia (Portuguese), Lucrezia (Italian), Lucretia (English/German), and Lucrèce (French); related Slavic forms include Lukrecja and Lukerija. Notable bearers range from Lucrezia Borgia to American reformer Lucretia Mott. Nicknames include Lu, Lulu, and Cia. Usage today is uncommon but distinctive.
Lucrecía is vanishingly rare. In all, it appears just 2 times, across 2 countries.
