Origin: Greek

Meaning: From Lucania; Bright, shining

Louka is a masculine name of Greek origin that will match baby’s bright and vibrant personality. While the more common spelling of this name, Luca, might be more familiar, we’re sure that little Louka will love having a name that stands out! Louka derives from Loukâs, an ancient Greek moniker meaning “from Lucania.” Lucania, a region in southern Italy, is referred to as Basilicata today, but that doesn’t mean that you and baby Louka can’t still visit! Louka and Lucania might also be linked to the word leukós, meaning “bright” or “shining,” so wherever baby Louka goes, they’ll know how to light the way.
