Piera-Lucia is Italian, Latin in Origin.
Piera-Lucia fuses two Italian roots: Piera, the feminine of Piero/Pietro from Greek Petros “rock,” and Lucia from Latin lux “light.” Together they suggest “steady light,” “light on a rock,” or “illuminating strength.” Both elements have deep Christian resonance - St. Peter as the apostolic “rock” and St. Lucia, the Sicilian martyr associated with vision and midwinter light - giving the compound a devotional, yet lyrical character.
Double given names are well established in Italy and wider Catholic Europe; the hyphen is a modern stylistic choice, so Piera Lucia is equally correct. Usage is rare but intelligible across Romance languages. Related forms include Piera, Pierina, Pietra, Petra, and Pierrette on the “rock” side, and Lucia, Lucía, Lúcia, Lucie, Lucy, Luce, and Luz on the “light” side. Occasional blended spellings like Pieralucia appear. Nicknames can default to Piera or Lucia.
Piera-Lucia is absent from every birth registry and name dataset we follow. That's typically a sign of a rare name, a regional or traditional one, or a modern coinage. By any reading, it's an exceptionally uncommon choice.
