Luster

Luster Origin and Meaning

The name Luster is a boy's name.

Luster is an uncommon masculine name derived from an English word meaning 'shine,' 'gleam,' or 'radiance.' Originally more common as a surname, it emerged as a given name through the practice of transforming family names into first names, particularly in American naming traditions. The name conveys qualities of brilliance, polish, and distinction, with implications of something that captures attention through its shining quality. Despite its positive connotations and appealing sound, Luster has never achieved widespread popularity as a first name, remaining notably rare in usage statistics. The name might appeal to parents seeking a distinctive option with strong sensory associations and an inherently positive meaning, though some might hesitate due to potential secondary meanings of the word in modern English.
