Luca is a given name used predominantly for males, mainly in Latin America, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovenia, Croatia, Bulgaria, Greece, and Georgia. It is derived from the Latin name Lucas (Greek Loukas) which is in turn a contraction of "Lucanus" meaning "of Lucania," the home of the Lucani.[1] It may also come from the Latin word "lucus" meaning "sacred wood" (a cognate of lucere). The name is common among Christians as a result of Luke the Evangelist. Similarly, the name Luka is also commonly found as a male given name in Eastern Europe and particularly the Balkans with the name sharing the same origin.

Luca is also a Hungarian and Croatian female given name. It is equivalent to Lucy in English, but pronounced differently as [ˈlutsa].
