What Does the Name Lucianna Mean?
Lucianna is a feminine name meaning "light," from the Latin lux (genitive lucis). It reaches English through the Latin name Luciana, the feminine of Lucianus, which is itself a derivative of the old Roman given name Lucius. The Romans associated Lucius with lux, "light," and that is the traditional explanation of the name's meaning.
One competing view holds that Lucius may have an Etruscan rather than a Latin origin; if that is correct, its likeness to lux would be a later association rather than the original source. The point is disputed, but "light" remains the meaning customarily attached to the name and to Luciana and Lucianna.
Lucianna is not a separate root. It is a spelling of Luciana with a doubled n, a kind of elaboration found in both Italian and English names; it does not point to a different origin.
Lucianna Name History & Origins
Lucianna belongs to a group of names going back to the Latin praenomen Lucius, one of the oldest and most common Roman given names. From Lucius came the derivative Lucianus, whose feminine form was Luciana. The masculine Lucianus was used by Roman writers, and the Christian theologian Lucian of Antioch (died 312) is a well-known early bearer.
The feminine Luciana passed into Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese use. In English literature it appears in Shakespeare's The Comedy of Errors, written in the 1590s, where Luciana is the sister of Adriana. That is a literary use of a name already current in Latin and the Romance languages, not the source of the name.
The spelling Lucianna, with two ns, is an elaborated form of Luciana. Doubled consonants of this type appear in Italian and in English renderings of names and generally reflect stylistic variation rather than a distinct line of descent.
