Lucy

Write about your first name: its meaning, significance, etymology, etc.

My given name is Lucy. I was named after my great grandmother.

Lucy is an English feminine given namederived from the Latin masculine given name Lucius with the meaning as of light (born at dawn or daylight, maybe also shiny, or of light complexion).

The English Lucy surname is taken from the Norman language that was Latin-based and derives from place names in Normandy based on Latin male personal name Lucius. It was transmitted to England after the Norman Conquest in the 11th century

The only Lucy I knew growing up was Lucille Ball. As a tv show it wasn’t the best influence for being a Lucy.
