A biblical name and gospel writer in Christianity, or used as a common first name.
From Latin 'Lucas,' possibly derived from Lucania in Italy, or from 'lucus' meaning 'sacred grove,' the name was popularized by Saint Luke the Evangelist in the New Testament.
Saint Luke is the patron saint of doctors and artists, and his symbol is an ox—which is why some medieval paintings show him surrounded by horned creatures instead of the usual saint imagery.
