History & Origin

Marialucia joins Maria, from the Hebrew Miriam, to Lucia, from the Latin lux, 'light'. Compound Marian names of this kind are a long tradition in Spanish and Italian Catholic families, given in devotion to the Virgin and to Saint Lucy (said 'mah-ree-uh-LOO-see-uh').

In the U.S. it is very rare as a solid-written name. Devotional, luminous, and lyrical.

Did you know? Saint Lucy's feast falls in the darkest days of December and is still marked with candles — so a name joining Maria to Lucia is, quite literally, Mary and light.
