Loucas

Loucas is a masculine name that represents a variation of Lucas, which derives from the Greek name Loukas (Λουκάς). The name ultimately comes from the Latin 'lux' meaning 'light' or can be connected to the region of Lucania in southern Italy. Particularly popular in Greek-speaking communities and among families with Greek heritage, Loucas carries the same warm, classic appeal as its more common variant. The spelling with 'ou' instead of 'u' reflects the Greek orthography and pronunciation. While not as widely used as Lucas in English-speaking countries, Loucas offers a distinctive international flavor while remaining recognizable and easy to pronounce.

As of October 2026, Loucas ranked #13428 in US births in 2016 SSA, peaked at #4790 in 1981.
