Lucian Forename Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
A male name. Latin Lucianus from Greek Λουκιανός; the etymology of the name is uncertain but it was probably of Asiatic origin; both Lucian the 2nd-C satirist and St Lucian the 3rd-C martyr were natives of Syria, and the 2nd-C heretic of the same name was from Asia Minor. Lucianus occurs as a christian name in 12th- and I3th-C records, but it was never common Since the revival of learning it has been used occasionally, with reference to the poet rather than the saint.
Lucianus Curia Regis Rolls 1166, 1200, 1210.
Latin Lucianus, a derivative of Lucius (q. v.): cf. Lucan. Among the devout, the influence of the seven Saints Lucian has been considerable—but is lessening; among the ungodly (not necessarily the godless), that of the Greek satirist Lucian (born ca. 120 A. D.), whose Dialogues have been so admirably translated by the lexicographical Fowlers, is less, but not negligibly, noticeable.
A Latin name, meaning: Light: born of Lucius: shining: re- splendent.
