What is the meaning of the name Lukasz ?

The baby name Lukasz is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced [ˈwukaʂ] (Polish), approx. "WOO-kash".

Lukasz is Polish in Origin.

Łukasz - often written without the diacritic as Lukasz - is the Polish form of Luke/Lucas, ultimately from Greek Loukas, “man from Lucania.” While many link the name to Latin lux “light,” that connection is secondary and largely folk etymology; its core sense is geographic. In Polish, Ł is pronounced like an English w, so Łukasz sounds roughly “WOO-kash.”

The name has been used in Poland since the Middle Ages, strengthened by devotion to Saint Luke the Evangelist, the physician-traveler traditionally credited with the Gospel of Luke and Acts. It remains a steady favorite, borne by public figures such as footballers Łukasz Fabiański and Łukasz Piszczek. International variants include Luke (English), Lucas (Latin/English/Spanish/Portuguese), Lukas (German/Scandinavian), Luka (South Slavic/Italian), and Luc (French). Diminutive or informal forms in Polish may include Łuki. Related surnames and patronymics appear across Europe, reflecting the name’s wide Christian heritage.
