Lucentio is a boy’s name of Italian and Latin origin. It may be a rare Italian variant of the Latin names Lucius and Lucentius, which derive from the word lux, meaning “light.” A fitting name for the little one who’s sure to bring lots of light into your life! Alternatively, this name may have been invented by William Shakespeare for his play The Taming of the Shrew. In the play, Lucentio is an idealistic suitor of the beautiful Bianca.
