Lucius (, ; Greek: Λούκιος ''Loukios'', Etruscan: ''Luvcie'') is a male given name derived from ''Lucius'' (abbreviated ''L.''), one of the small group of common Latin forenames (''praenomina'') found in the culture of ancient Rome. Lucius derives from latin word ''Lux'' (gen. ''lucis''), meaning "light" (<PIE '' *leuk-'' "brightness", Latin verb ''lucere'' "to shine"), and is a cognate of name Lucas. Another etymology proposed is a derivation from Etruscan ''Lauchum'' (or ''Lauchme'') meaning "king", which however was transferred into Latin as ''Lucumo''.〔Bonfante G., Bonfante L. (1983).
