Lukasz

Boy name · 24 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Lukasz: 24 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 6 births in 2009.

Lukasz is the Polish form of Luke, ultimately derived from the Greek name Loukas, meaning "from Lucania," a region in southern Italy. The most famous bearer is Lukasz Gottwald, the American record producer known as Dr. Luke, who has shaped pop music for decades. In Scotland, the name has been steadily used since the late 20th century, reflecting the country's growing Polish community. A notable variant is the Scottish Gaelic Lùcas, while the English Luke remains far more common. The name shares its root with the Latin lux, meaning "light," giving it a subtle, luminous quality that appeals to parents seeking a strong, international name with a clear cultural identity.
