Lutero is Germanic in Origin.

Lutero is the Spanish and Italian form of Luther, adopted as a given name in homage to the Reformation figure known as Martín/Martino Lutero. The underlying Germanic root is debated: many derive it from Lothar (OHG Hlōthari), “famous army” (hlūd ‘famous’ + hari ‘army’), while others connect it to liut ‘people’ + hari ‘army,’ yielding “people’s army.” As a given name it appears sporadically in Spain, Latin America, and the Philippines, mainly in Protestant circles, and more commonly functions as a surname.

Variants include Luther (English, German), Lothar (German), Lothaire/Clotaire (French), Lotario/Lotário (Italian, Spanish, Portuguese), and the Latinate Lutherus; the English diminutive Lute also appears. The name’s prominence rose in the 16th century through Martin Luther and saw a 19th-century Anglo-American revival as a forename; in Iberian usage, Lutero remains rare but distinctive, carrying associations of reform, conviction, and learned piety.
