Meaning & History

From Latin noctilūca meaning "something that shines by night" - thus also "moon" and "lantern" - from nox "night" and luceo "to shine". It may be an epithet of the Roman goddess Juno. It also occurs in John of Salisbury's 12th-century treatise the Policraticus as an alternative name for the goddess Herodias.
