Lucky

Lucky is an English vocabulary name derived from the adjective lucky, itself rooted in the Middle Dutch word luc, meaning fortune or happiness. It arose as a given name and nickname in the English-speaking world, often bestowed with the hope that good fortune would follow the bearer through life. The name has been used across many cultures as a direct translation or calque, and it enjoyed popular familiarity through fictional characters and public figures throughout the twentieth century. Related forms include Luca, Lucius, and the feminine Lucia, which share a distinct Latin root but are sometimes connected through folk etymology.
