Lukas is Latin in Origin.
Lukas is the Germanic and Central/Eastern European spelling of Latin Lucas, ultimately from Greek Loukas, ‘man from Lucania,’ a region of southern Italy. By later association with Latin lux ‘light,’ the name is frequently interpreted to mean ‘light’ or ‘bringer of light,’ a symbolic reading that complements its biblical resonance.
Carried across Europe by the cult of Saint Luke the Evangelist, traditionally credited with the Gospel of Luke and Acts, Lukas has been used since the Middle Ages and remains broadly popular in German-speaking countries, Scandinavia, the Baltics, and much of Slavic Europe. The k-spelling is typical in these languages. Related forms include Luke and Lucas (English), Loukas (Greek), Luca (Italian/Romanian), Luka (South Slavic/Scandinavian), Lukáš (Czech/Slovak), Łukasz (Polish), and Lúkas (Icelandic). Common short forms are Luke, Luk, and Luky; surnames such as Łukasek and Łukasiewicz reflect patronymic development.
