Lukie is in Origin.

An affectionate diminutive of Luke/Lucas, Lukie stems from Latin Lucas, itself from Greek Loukas (“man from Lucania”). Through long-standing association with Latin lux (“light”), the name family is also widely interpreted as “light” or “bringer of light.” The -ie ending follows a common English nickname pattern (as in Alfie or Charlie), signaling warmth and familiarity; Lukie is thus most often a pet form used within families and close circles.

Use of the root name spread with the veneration of St. Luke the Evangelist, ensuring Luke/Lucas a presence across medieval Europe and a strong modern revival. Lukie occasionally appears as an independent given name in recent records in the UK, US, and Australasia, while remaining informal elsewhere. Variants and cognates include Luke, Lucas, Luca, Luka, Luc, Loukas, Luuk (Dutch), and Polish Łukasz; diminutive relatives include Lukey and Luki, with feminine counterparts Lucia and Lucy.
