The name Lucia has not yet appeared in any of the name hit lists in Germany. The hobby researcher Knud Bielefeld has researched all registry office entries back to the year 1890, but Lucia cannot be found. Only the variants Lucy and Luzy can be found in his statistics. The female first name Lucia comes from the Latin word lux. Translated it means “light”, which is why Lucia likes to speak of “the shining one”. But also “those born at daybreak” is a common interpretation of the name. Saint Lucia of Syracuse made this name famous. Her memorial day is December 13th, the day before the winter solstice fell before the Gregorian calendar was introduced. So the day on which the return of light was celebrated. Which is why one of the name days is of course on December 13th. The male variant Lucius contributes the remaining days of this name. This name was popular with popes. Well-known namesake are also the Brazilian actress Lúcia Alves and the soprano Lucia Popp. But a cartoon character also listens to this name. What is meant, of course, is the Pokémon character Lucia. In Sweden, by the way, a festival called the Luizenfest in honor of St. Lucia is still celebrated to this day.
