Origin and meaning of Lucia
Lucia comes from the Latin lux, 'light' — 'luminous, light-bearer'. Much of its fortune is owed to Saint Lucy of Syracuse, a martyr honoured as protector of eyesight and celebrated on 13 December with festivals of light across Europe. Widespread in Italy, Spain and Scandinavia, it remains a warm, timeless classic.
