Lucius
[ˈluːʃəs]Meaning
Roman praenomen derived from Latin lux, "light"
Background Story
Lucius was one of the common Latin forenames (praenomina) of ancient Rome, derived from the Latin word lux, meaning "light", and related to the verb lucere, "to shine". Another proposed etymology derives it from the Etruscan Lauchum or Lauchme, meaning "king". It was the most popular of the praenomina, borne by two Etruscan kings of early Rome and later by figures including the statesman and philosopher Seneca. The name is used in Biblical Greek, Italian, Polish, Portuguese and Spanish, and its feminine forms are Lucia and Lucy.
