Meaning & History
Possibly derived from the name of the city in Switzerland, itself from Latin lucius meaning "pike (a type of fish)" with the suffix -aria, denoting a place. It is popularly regarded to be associated with Latin lucerna meaning "lantern". Alternatively, it may be derived from Luzerne, the French name for the alfalfa plant (species Medicago sativa).
