LUKE. What do you think of when you hear that first name? The Star Wars references have been following me around for a good chunk of my life, ever since the first movie was released. Do me a favor, would you? If you ever get introduced to anyone named Luke, please don’t tell a Star Wars joke to him. Trust me, he has heard them all.
Luke is an American name that comes from the name Lucas. Lucas is a contraction of the word Lucanus (meaning “of Lucania”) Lucania is a district in Lower Italy and is home to the Lucani, which is a branch of the Sabelline race.
