Luzelma is Spanish in Origin.
Luzelma is a modern Spanish-language compound feminine name blending Luz - Spanish for “light” and a Marian epithet from Nuestra Señora de la Luz - with Elma, a short form of Germanic names such as Anselma or Wilhelmina built on helm “helmet, protection.” Together the elements yield a sense of “light and protection” or “protective light.”
The fused form arose in Latin America in the mid-20th century amid the vogue for devotional names beginning with Luz and remains uncommon but established, especially in Mexico and Colombia. Variants include Luz Elma (two words) and Luz-Elma (hyphenated); related cognates are Luz, Elma, Selma/Zelma, and Anselma. Usual short forms are Luz, Elma, and Lulu. Luzelma suits parents seeking a luminous, faith-tinged blend that also nods to sturdy Germanic roots.
Luzelma is a genuine rarity. In all, it appears just 3 times, across 3 countries.
