Lusilla is Latin in Origin.
Lusilla is a rare feminine given name best explained as a variant of Lucilla, the Latin diminutive of Lucia from lux, "light." The -illa suffix denotes smallness or endearment, giving the sense "little light" or "radiant one." In Romance-language records, interchange of c and s before i produced spellings like Lusilla alongside Lucilla and Lucila; Spanish influence from Luz ("light") may also have nudged this form.
Evidence of use is scattered, appearing sporadically in Italian and Iberian parish registers and later in Latin America, then reemerging in modern baby-name choices as an uncommon twist on Lucia/Lucille. Close variants include Lucilla, Lucila, Lusila, Lucille, Lucía, and Lucia; related diminutives are Lucy, Luci, and Cilla. With its transparent luminous meaning and familiar Lu- sound, Lusilla offers historical depth while remaining distinctive and globally pronounceable.
