Lucretyus is Latin in Origin.

Lucretyus is a modern Anglicized respelling of the Latin Lucretius, the masculine nomen of the Roman gens Lucretia. The name is generally traced to Latin lucrum, “profit, gain,” giving it the sense of “prosperous” or “advantageous.” In classical Rome Lucretius functioned as a family name; its most famous bearer is the 1st‑century BCE poet‑philosopher Titus Lucretius Carus, author of De Rerum Natura. After antiquity the masculine form saw little use, though it resurfaced among Renaissance humanists; in English-speaking countries it remains very rare, with Lucretyus appearing as a phonetic or stylistic variant in recent decades.

Standard and related variants include Lucretius (Latin/English), Lucrezio (Italian), Lucrécio (Portuguese), Lucrecio (Spanish), Lucreci (Catalan), Lukrecjusz (Polish), and Lucrețiu/Lucretiu (Romanian). Feminine counterparts are Lucretia, Lucrecia, Lucrezia, and Lucrèce. The unusual spelling Lucretyus preserves the traditional pronunciation (loo-KREE-shəs) while lending a distinctive, scholarly aura.
