  1. You correctly state that Luke is derived from the Latin word lux meaning light. Then, incorrectly and contradictorily state that the origins are Greek meaning “Man from Lucania”.

    The Greeks did not use the term Lucania. They referred to the southern Italian region (comprising Lucania) as “Oentria” and the inhabitants as “Oentrii”. Lucania was the Roman name for the region and derived from the tribe that inhabited a small part of southern Italy.

    Many websites copy the same erroneous information regarding the Greek origins of the name.
