Meaning and origin
Borrowed from Italian Luca, from Latin Lūcās, from Ancient Greek Λουκᾶς (Loukâs), hypocoristic of Λούκιος (Loúkios) (from Latin Lūcius m) or Λουκανός (Loukanós) or both with -ᾶς (-âs). As a female given name, used in Hungarian and Serbo-Croatian as an equivalent of Lucy (ultimately of same origin, from Latin Lūcia f), but English usage is influenced by the male given name, similar Lucas, Luke, and the feminine ending -a. ==== Pronunciation ==== IPA(key): /ˈluːkə/ Rhymes: -uːkə ==== Proper noun ==== Luca A male given name from Italian, borrowed in the 2000s.
