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.
