History & Origin
Luccas doubles the c of Lucas, the Greek Loukas — 'man from Lucania', the region of southern Italy — borne by the gospel-writing physician and forever associated, by sound and folk-sense, with Latin lux, 'light'. The double-c styling circulates especially in Brazil, where Lucas ranks perennially high and spelling flourishes abound (actor Luccas Neto, YouTube giant, leads the variant).
In the U.S. the spelling is rare, an emphatic twist on a top-tier classic. Same saint, same light, one extra letter of swagger.
