Lucius
Lucius is a masculine given name which began use as Lucius (Latin ; ), abbreviated L., one of the small group of common Latin forenames () found in the culture of ancient Rome. Lucius probably derives from Latin word (gen. ), meaning "light" (<PIE *''leuk-'', "brightness"), related to the Latin verb ("to shine") and cognate to the name Lucas. Another proposed etymology is derivation from Etruscan ''Lauchum'' (or ''Lauchme'') meaning "king", which was more directly transferred into Latin as .Lucia and Lucy are feminine forms of the name.
In addition, Lucius is a British masculine given name and an Austrian, German, Luxembourgish and Dutch surname. Lucius has been translated into Italian, Spanish and Portuguese, as Lucio.
