History & Origin

Luchiano is a phonetic respelling of Luciano, the Italian form of the Latin Lucianus - itself from Lucius, from lux, 'light'. Luciano is a long-established Italian name, borne by saints and by the tenor Luciano Pavarotti. The ch spelling is an American touch that keeps the Italian sound while sidestepping Italian spelling rules; we note that plainly (said 'loo-chee-AH-noh').

This spelling appears only very rarely for boys in the U.S., while Luciano is better used. Rare in form, luminous in root.

Did you know? Luciano goes back through Lucianus to Lucius and finally to lux, the Latin word for light. Luchiano writes that sound the way English ears hear it (said 'loo-chee-AH-noh').
