History & Origin
Luci is recorded as Spanish with an uncertain origin, so its meaning is not fixed on its own. It clusters with fuller forms such as Lucia and Lucilla, which point toward the Latin sense of 'light'. Taken alone, though, Luci reads mostly as a short, affectionate form rather than a name with a documented meaning of its own.
The accented spellings Lùci and Lüci are recorded variations, giving the name a few regional looks. Its two-syllable brightness suits its place beside the Lucia family.
