Lucília

This name derives from the Latin “lūx > lūceō > Lūcīlius,” meaning “light, shine, clear, bright, shining, full of light,” which in turn derives from the Proto-Italic “*louks,” meaning “white, light, bright,” compared to the Ancient Greek “leukós (λευκός).” The gens Lucilia was a plebeian family in ancient Rome. The most famous of the gens was the poet Gaius Lucilius, who flourished during the latter part of the second century BC. Although many Lucilii appears in Roman history, none of them obtained any of the higher offices of the Roman state.
