About the name Lucia
Lucia is the feminine form of the Roman name Lucius, which derives from the Latin lux, light. Saint Lucy of Syracuse, a martyr of the Diocletianic persecution, made the name widespread in Christian Europe. She is honoured in Sweden and Norway with the Santa Lucia festival, when girls wear white gowns and crowns of candles in the darkest part of winter. The Neapolitan song Santa Lucia refers to a harbour district named after her. Lucy is the English form, and Lucía is the Spanish spelling.
