Of Greek origin, one of the many epithets of goddess Artemis, Lucia Artemis ("Lousia" in Greek, pronounced Luseea), from the Greek verb louo-louomai, literally means having a bath, symbolizing purity.

In Sweden Lucia is celebrated on December 13th. She brings light in the dark, it was in old times believed to be the darkest day of the year. It is in Sweden pronounced Lu-SEE-a.

Pronounced loo-CEE-ah in Sweden. Sankta Lucia Day is today - December 13th.

As a little girl, I would dress up in a plain white dress and wear a hard plastic green crown with white stuff and artificial candles on it. My family would drive up to a Swedish town that's about a half-hour away. I would go through all of the restaurants and stores with a plate of either cookies or candy, and offer a treat to anyone who passed by.

Author James Joyce had a daughter named Lucia.

Lucia was the name of the slave girl played by Debra Paget in the film "Demetrius and the Gladiators." Also a name of another character in novel and film "The Robe."

I think Lucia is a nice name. My favorite pronunciation is Loo-See-a but I like Loo-Sha too. One of my friend's name is Lucia and some pronounce it Loo-See-A but it's Loo-Sha.

My name is pronounced loosha. It is also my aunt and my grandmother's name. Her mother was from Poland. I love it and I always get compliments.

Beautiful name.

Lucia is the daughter of Antonia Kidman and niece of actress Nicole Kidman.

What a beautiful name! I prefer Loo-see-a however! Still gorgeous!

I say LOO-sha, and love it that way. It's a gorgeous name.

What a pretty name! I want to name my daughter this. It's lovely. I would call her Lulu or Lucy as a nickname.

This is also a guy's name, and I am not making this up. It sounds really good for a guy, better than for a girl I think.

There is a character in the Japanese anime "Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch" named "Luc(h)ia Nanami".

I love this name! (I pronounce it the Italian way, Loo-chee-ah)

I've always associated this name with being brilliant. Beautiful.

Isn't St. Lucia an island in the Caribbean?

Upon seeing this name, I love it! I don't like the whole gouged eyes, though. :(

The eyes gouged out thing is of no consequence. Lots of saints came to awful ends but that means nothing about the name.

I love this pronounced Loo-chee-ah.

Serbian-Italian actress Sasha Alexander & her husband Edoardo Ponti have a daughter Sofia Ponti, was born in Geneva, Switzerland on 12th May 2006.

Lucia is also the Slovak version. [noted -ed]

This is a beautiful name. Any way you pronounce it, whether it be the English "lu-sha" or Italian "lu-CHEE-ah" or the Spanish "lu-SEE-ah" - it's darling.
My only concern about this traditional "older sounding" elegant name is that it's quickly becoming very popular, and I fear it will be in the top 10 in the not too distant future. Look at names like Sophia, Isabella, and Emma - numbers 1-3 for 2007, respectively.

I love this name! It sounds so nice. I like the meaning of it to, "brings light into the darkness." I also like several nicknames that could go with this name, such as "Lucy" or "LuLu." And the name is not common in the United States yet, nor is the name Lucy. Of course that could change.

I have a cousin named Lucia; even though we're British we pronounce it the Italian way: lu-chee-ah. I like it pronounced this way and didn't know there were other ways to pronounce it.

(No wonder my boyfriend thinks she's Italian if I pronounce it this way lol).

But overall, I think it's a very pretty name.

I am named Lucia, and most of the time I love it, but sometimes I think it should be used a bit more often.

My mother's name is Lucia -- pronounced Loo-sha. She has always disliked it as it never gets pronounced correctly.

The German pronunciation is LOO-tsee-ah. [noted -ed]

I love this name, it seems very regal to me. Lol I also named this but she goes by Lulu for short.

Latin pronunciation is Loo-kee-ah with stress on the first syllable.

My mother's name is Lucia and she hates it when people call her LOO-sha, it is a Spanish name and it means light. The right way is luc-EYA.

I knew someone who had a variant of this name, Luczia, which she pronounced loo-CHEE-ah.

Love this name so much! And the nickname Lucy is adorable. (:

I had my daughter two weeks ago and my husband and I named her Lucia. We are overjoyed. She fits her name perfectly since she has brought light into our life and much love.

Beautiful, classic Italian name for a girl. Use it instead of choosing the over-popular Sofia.

Lucia (1531-1532) was the daughter of Albert, Duke of Prussia and his wife Dorothea of Denmark. She died young. Her younger sister (1537-1539) was also named Lucia, after her older deceased sister.

Love the Italian pronunciation Lou-chee-ah, the English version sounds like you're dragging out the name Lucy. It's just not as pretty to me.
