Luci
Girl name · 124 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Luci: 124 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 11 births in 2010.
The name Luci is a short, modern form of Lucia or Lucy, both rooted in the Latin *lux*, meaning "light." It carries the same radiant symbolism as its longer counterparts, often associated with clarity and illumination. Famous bearers include American singer-songwriter Luci (born Lucy Miller) and Luci Baines Johnson, the younger daughter of U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson. While no major place is directly named after a Luci, the root *lux* appears in place names like Luxembourg (meaning "little fortress of light") and the ancient city of Lucentum in Spain. A notable variant, Lucie, is popular across Europe, and the name's simplicity gives it a fresh, contemporary feel while retaining timeless classic charm.
