Luc%c3%ada

The name Lucía is the Spanish and Italian feminine form of the Latin name Lucia, derived from lux, meaning light. It was borne by Saint Lucia of Syracuse, a Christian martyr of the early fourth century whose feast day on December 13 became associated in Scandinavian tradition with festivals of light. The name spread widely throughout the Catholic world owing to devotion to this saint. Related forms include Lucy in English, Lucie in French, and Luce in Italian.
