Luz

Luz is a Spanish feminine name meaning light, derived from the Latin word lux with the same meaning. It originated as a Marian title, Nuestra Señora de la Luz, meaning Our Lady of the Light, a devotional epithet of the Virgin Mary that gave rise to widespread use of the name across the Spanish-speaking world. The name shares its Latin root with the Italian and Portuguese Luce, the French Lucie, and the English Lucy and Lucia.
