The surname Lucas or Luke has its origins in Ireland. The name Lucas is derived from the Latin name "Lucas," which means "man from Lucania." Lucania was an ancient region in southern Italy. The name Luke, on the other hand, is an anglicized form of the Irish name "Lucais" or "Lúcás," which are variations of the Latin name Lucas.
The surname Lucas or Luke has a long history in Ireland, dating back to the medieval period. The name was introduced to the country by the Anglo-Normans who arrived in Ireland in the 12th century. Over time, the name became more prevalent among the Irish population, particularly in areas with strong Norman influence.
The Lucas or Luke surname can be found throughout Ireland, but it is more commonly associated with certain counties, such as County Cork, County Kerry, and County Limerick. These areas were heavily settled by Norman families, and the surname Lucas or Luke became established within these communities.
Today, individuals with the surname Lucas or Luke can be found in Ireland, as well as in other parts of the world where Irish descendants have settled. The name has also spread to other countries through emigration and can be found in various English-speaking nations, such as the United States, Canada, and Australia.
