Lucine

/loo · SEEN/


“Moon, or light of dawn”

Two distinct traditions share this spelling. As a transcription of the Armenian name Lusine, it comes from Armenian lusin, meaning moon. Separately, French naming tradition links it to Lucien, itself from the Roman name Lucius, which goes back to Latin lux, meaning light; read this way, the name means the radiant one, born at daybreak.
