Lucca

Lucca is a modern English masculine given name derived from the Italian city of Lucca in Tuscany, whose own name traces back to the ancient Ligurian or Etruscan root *luk*, possibly meaning light or marshy place. Its popularity as a given name has grown in English-speaking countries largely as a stylistic variant of the Italian and Latin name Luca, itself from the Greek Loukas, meaning man from Lucania. The doubled consonant gives the name a distinctly Italian visual character, appealing to parents seeking an elaborated or more distinctive spelling. Related forms include Luca, Lucas, and Luke.
