What is the meaning of the name Lusin ?

Lusin is Armenian in Origin.

Lusin (Armenian: Լուսին, pronounced loo-SEEN) is an Armenian given name meaning “moon.” It derives from the Armenian noun lusin, built on the stem lus- “light, brightness,” which is linked to the Indo-European root *leuk- “shine.” The name evokes images of radiance, serenity, and the night sky within Armenian culture.

In use, Lusin appears both on its own and alongside the widely used feminine form Lusine/Lousine (Լուսինե). Variant spellings - Lousin, Lousine, Loucine, Lucine - reflect Western Armenian and French-influenced transliterations; Lusi serves as a familiar diminutive. Documented in Armenian communities since at least the 19th century, the name remains recognizable across the diaspora (Lebanon, France, Russia, North America). It is primarily feminine, though occasionally treated as unisex. The name’s cultural resonance is reinforced by Armenian sacred music and poetry. Note that it is distinct from the unrelated Russian surname Luzin.
