This name was also used in Victorian England particularly among gypsy travelers and Romany people although sadly today it’s vanishingly rare in the U.K.
This name is very lovely ❤️. I pronounce it as Lucy luh or Lucille luh. It is very pretty and I like that it's a longer form of Lucy so Lucy can be the nickname. I like longer names as full names and a shorter form as a nickname. Like it better than Lucille because Lucille is more old fashioned but is ok though.
Annia Aurelia Galeria Lucilla was the daughter of the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius and Roman empress (due to marriage with Lucius Verus). She was executed by the Roman emperor Commodus.
It's my daughter's name. We pronounce it Loo-SEE-yah. Her nickname is Luci. She likes the name & often gets compliments.

This is a beautiful and elegant name! In 1844 an anonymous lady author, who had also written "Happy Hours With Mamma", published a book called " '"Lucilla Hartley: or, Discipline illustrated; a narrative founded on occurrences in real life" - it was described as "A pleasing little story, intermingled with various sorts of information, as conveyed by some young ladies to their teacher. The characters are fictitious, but many of the incidents and anecdotes real."
