thoroughly impossible. where the name "lukus/luca/luke" might theoretically also be derived whence or benefit from the "lux" origin (outside of the well known saint's particulars), the weight of the term "bringer of light" is too heavy a yoke.are you thinking of that appelative "lucifer" the "light bearer?"

Where did you read that?As Chrisell requested before: sources, please!Btw, the two crappy "babyname" books I used to own (hurrah for the venerable tradition of the Great Moving Purge!) listed Beatrice as meaning "bringer of light" in Latin.
