Luke m
English: Middle English form of Lucas (SEE Lucas), Latin form of the post-classical Greek name Loukas ‘man from Lucania’. This owes its perennial popularity throughout Christian Europe to the fact that, from the 2nd century onwards, the third gospel in the New Testament has been ascribed to the Lucas or Luke mentioned at various places in Acts and in the Epistles. He was a doctor, a Gentile, and a friend and convert of St Paul.
