The database states it's a Greek name meaning 'from Lucania'. However, a certain philologist derives the name from Latin 'lux' meaning 'light'. He actually states the name means 'one born at sunrise'. How probable is this? Who is mistaken here?
Thanks for any information!___________________________________________I know I'm selfish, I'm unkind
