Lufian is in Origin.

Lufian draws from Old English lufian, the verb “to love,” itself built on lufu “love,” from Proto-Germanic *lubō and ultimately the Proto-Indo-European root *leubh- “to care, desire, love.” The name therefore carries the meanings “loving” and “beloved,” with a warm, virtue-like aura while remaining distinctive.

Though not recorded as a personal name in Anglo-Saxon records, Lufian sits comfortably alongside the era’s “Leof-” names (Leofwine, Leofric), which likewise conveyed dearness. In modern usage it appears as a rare, contemporary revival drawing on heritage English forms and the broader trend toward virtue-leaning names. Creative variants include Lufien, Luvian, and Lufyan; possible feminine or unisex adaptations are Lufia and Lufiane. Short forms Lu, Lufi, Fian, and Ian come naturally. Related choices with overlapping sense include Love, Loveday, Leof, Levin, and Lovell.
