My favourite long form of Lucy! Lucy works as a name in its own right, but I prefer it as a nickname for the beautiful and unique Luciana. I would pronounce it loo -see-AH-na, but it can also be pronounced with -chee, -thee, -shee, and tsee, all of witch are beautiful. It means light, which is perfect because it’s so full of light and life. A long and magical name, I would use it to honour my grandfather Lucian.

Luciana Angiolillo is an Italian former actress and model. She is sometimes credited as Luciana Angelillo. Born Luciana Nevi in Rome, Angiolillo started her career as a runway model. She made her film debut thanks to the friendship of Ennio Flaiano, who suggested her to the director Luciano Emmer for the role of an upper class lady in Camilla. From then she appeared in a number of films, often in stereotypical roles of snobbish bourgeois ladies. Gradually relegated to secondary roles, Angiolillo eventually devoted herself to the direction of a fashion house owned by her.

The name appears in Shakespeare's Comedy of Errors. I believe in Renaissance English, this would have been pronounced as loo-SHAY-nah or loo-SHAH-nah. Compare to Georgiana which was pronounced as (jor-JAY-nah) in Renaissance and certain dialects of modern British English.
