History & Origin
Lucca comes from the ancient Tuscan city (its name likely from a pre-Latin root for 'marsh', though popularly tied to lux, 'light') and doubles as a -cca styling of Luca, the Italian Luke ('man from Lucania', also light-associated). On girls it reads travel-chic; we note the debated etymology.
It registers thinly for girls in recent records. Rare, city-and-light at the root, and Italianate.
