About Lucy
A versatile classic, Lucy is both sweet and solid, a saint's name, and the heroine of several great novels. First fashionable in England and Wales, Lucy is now a popular choice in the US, The Netherlands, and New Zealand.
The English form of the Roman Lucia, Lucy derives from the Latin word lux, meaning "light." Once given to girls born at dawn, Lucy is also associated with Saint Lucia, the patron saint of the blind.
Lucy has a wide range of namesakes, from the bossy friend in the Peanuts comic, to psychedelic "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds," to the rash and zany heroine of I Love Lucy.
It is a name with a rich literary history, chosen for the heroines of Charlotte Brontë's novel Villette, E.M. Forster's A Room With A View, Jamaica Kincaid's Lucy, and C. S Lewis's The Chronicles of Narnia - just to name a few.
Beyond fiction, Lucy Stone was an important American activist, Lucy Worsley is a successful author and historian, and Lucy Liu is an actress who has imparted strength and style to the name.
Simple but sophisticated, playful but grounded, it is no wonder Lucy is a popular choice. Given to over 4000 girls in the US each year, it is a classic that doesn't feel dusty.
If you love Lucy, but don't love its popularity, you could consider one of its many variants. From vintage Lucille, to the musical Lucetta, to the fresh, unexpected Lux; from nickname-y Lou to sleek Luciana, there are plenty of possibilities.
Lucy is also given to boys, where it ranks #9392 in the US.
Pronounced LOO-see.
As of October 2026, Lucy ranked #25 in US births in 2025 SSA, Nameberry popularity #21.
