Luka is Slavic in Origin.
From Greek Loukas (Λουκᾶς) via Latin Lucas, Luka means “man from Lucania,” a region of southern Italy, and has also acquired the association “light” through Latin lux. The name spread with the veneration of Luke the Evangelist, author of the Gospel of Luke and Acts, and became entrenched across the Christian world. In the Slavic world and Georgia (ლუკა), Luka is the standard masculine form with long-standing ecclesiastical and folk use.
Variants and cognates include Luca (Italian/Romanian; feminine in Hungary), Luke (English), Lucas (international), Loukas (Greek), Łukasz (Polish), Lukáš (Czech/Slovak), and Luc (French). Pet forms such as Luki appear in several languages. Modern visibility has risen through figures like footballer Luka Modrić and basketball star Luka Dončić, helping the name travel well beyond its Slavic base; in Japanese pop culture, Luka (ルカ) also appears as a transliteration, sometimes used unisex.
