Lucius is a masculine given name derived from Lucius (Latin Script error: No such module "IPA".; Template:Langx), abbreviated L., one of the small group of common Latin forenames (Script error: No such module "Lang".) found in the culture of ancient Rome. Lucius probably derives from Latin word Script error: No such module "Lang". (gen. Script error: No such module "Lang".), meaning "light" (<PIE *leuk-, "brightness"), related to the Latin verb Script error: No such module "Lang". ("to shine") and cognate to the name Lucas. Another proposed etymology is derivation from Etruscan Lauchum (or Lauchme) meaning "king", which was more directly transferred into Latin as Script error: No such module "Lang"..[1]

Lucia and Lucy are feminine forms of the name.

In addition, Lucius is a British masculine given name and an Austrian, German, Luxembourgish and Dutch surname. Lucius has been translated into Italian, Spanish and Portuguese, as Lucio.
