Luca Origin and Meaning

The name Luca is a girl's name of Italian, Slavic origin meaning "light or man from Lucania".

Very much a boy's name in Italy, it's beginning to be seen as a unisex possibility here: actress Jennie Garth used it for her daughter. When spelled Lucca as in the Italian city, it can also be considered one of the place names along with Venezia, Roma, and Milana that make great Italian names for girls.
