Light
Lucilia is a feminine derivative of the Roman family name Lucilius, which itself stems from the Latin word lux. It carries the same luminous association as the more common Lucy or Lucia but offers a more elaborate, ancient Roman feel. Historically, it was used within the Roman aristocracy and remains a rare, elegant choice today.
