History & Origin

Lucylle dresses up Lucille with a stylish y, a spelling fashion that flourished for a short while. Lucille is the French form of Lucia, from lux, and carried the bright meaning 'light' from the early Christian saints onward.

Lucylle appeared over only a narrow window and was never common, drawing only a couple dozen girls a year even at its high around 1916 before vanishing within a decade or so. It reads as a stylish period spelling; a girl written down as Lucylle then would be of a great-grandmother's generation.

Did you know? Lucylle, Lucille and Lucia all trace to the Latin word for light, lux, the same root behind lucid and Lucifer.
