Luxe is a modern English given name drawn from two Latin roots. As a borrowing from French luxe "luxury," it ultimately traces to Latin luxus, meaning opulence or excess. It also echoes Lux, from Latin lux "light," long associated with names like Lucia and Lucian. Consequently, Luxe carries blended senses of radiance and refined elegance.

As a first name, Luxe emerged in the late 20th and early 21st centuries amid the rise of bold, brandlike word-names. It is used for all genders, most commonly in the U.S., Canada, and Australia, often chosen for its sleek, minimalist look. Variants and related forms include Lux, Luce (Italian), Luz (Spanish/Portuguese), Lucia/Lucian/Lucius, and the spellings Luxx or Luks as stylistic twists. Nicknames may be Lu, Lulu, or Lex. Usage remains rare but steadily climbing, helped by the broader fashion for luminous names and the appeal of a short, high-impact sound.
