Lucius Forename Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
A male name. a Latin praenomen, probably derived from lux 'light’. St Lucius was Bishop of Rome from 253—4, and there were two later popes of the name. But it seems not to have been used as an ordinary christian name until the Renaissance, when Lucio became common in Italy. Lucius is found occasionally in England, e.g. Lucius Gary, Viscount Falkland (1610?—43), and not infrequently in Ireland, where it has been used to render various native names.
A very common Latin name, denoting ‘(one) born at daylight’ or, less probably, ‘fair-complexioned,’—from lux (genitive lucis), ‘light,’—it has been to a moderate extent popularised in England by the reverence due to the nineteen Saints Lucius, esp. to that chieftain of South Wales who, ca. 180, begged Christian missionaries from the Pope; Lucius Cary, Viscount Falkland, invested it with a fine lustre; and in Ireland it has been made to serve as the equivalent of the native Lachtna and Loiseach. (Benedictines; Yonge.)
Found as a male name. The Roman name is said to be derived from lux, lucis, light. Dict, quòd primâ luce natus est (a child born at sunrise or daybreak). Festus.

Meaning: light: bright: white.
