When I see this name, I think of moonlight shining through tree branches when you walk on a stone path in the forest. It’s very serene and… illuminating?

This can also be the French form of Lucina. Evidence of this can be seen in the France popularity chart and user-submission name.
It may not be popular in the USA but in Armenia Lucine/Lusine is a common name. In 2010 it ranked at #21 and is common among older people as well.

Very uncommon, moreso than something like Lucille. And if a a bearer doesn't like it, they could easily go by Lucy! It's definitely a good name choice.
I think this name is beautiful. I like it better than Lucille (the two sounding very similar, though Lucille is more common).

I don't think that it is from "American" at all. This name is from the word "moon". I don't see any resemblance to Lucine and moon. It's most likely from Latin (Luna) or at least French (Lune).
Um, well, I'm 1/2 Armenian and I can tell you for a fact that Lucine IS the Armenian word for "moon" or "moonlight". I believe the two are very similar sounding.
