What is the meaning of the name Lucrecía ?

The baby name Lucrecía is a Female name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced /lu.kɾeˈsi.a/ (Spanish; respelling: "loo-kreh-SEE-ah").

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.
