Today, the name Luca is not popular among young mothers. Calling your son Luka or Lukyan is considered a very original decision. But what kind of patronymic is formed on behalf of Luke interests many.
Instructions
Step 1
Although the name Luke (Lukyan, Lucian) is considered natively Russian and sounds purely Slavic, it is of Greek origin. It comes from the Latin word "lucas", which means "light." Although there is an assumption that the name comes from the name of the region of Lucania, located in southern Italy, and in antiquity belonging to the Greeks.
Step 2
The most popular Luke is the companion of the Apostle Paul, the holy Evangelist Luke. It was he who painted the face of the Virgin Mary, mother of Christ, and became the first icon painter. So this name has very good karma.
Step 3
However, the name Luke is often associated with the concept of "evil". But, as often happens, the obvious things that lie on the surface turn out to be wrong. Often, Luka or Lukyan is a bright person.
Step 4
Even 100 years ago, the name Luke was in great demand, because children were named according to the calendar. For example, before the revolution, it was given to a child born on October 15, June 3, or September 10. Then the patron saint of the baby was the martyr Lucian of Antioch, Lucian of Belgium or Lucian of the Caves, respectively. According to the new style, the days of veneration of these saints are celebrated by the Orthodox world on October 28, June 16 and August 28.
Step 5
The boy, whose father's name is Luka, will have a patronymic Lukich or Lukyanovich. The girl, respectively, is Lukinichna or Lukyanovna. They are somewhat outdated for modern hearing, but, nevertheless, they are still in use.
Step 6
Sometimes the female patronymic of Lukinichna is pronounced through "Ш" - Lukinishna. It instantly evokes an association with a kind grandmother from a fairy tale. However, in the 21st century, the patronymic Lukyanovna is still more relevant. It is easier to pronounce for children. Therefore, some teachers change it from Lukinichna to Lukyanovna.
Step 7
Sometimes Luka is called Lukin. Then the male patronymic will sound like Lukinovich, and the female - Lukinovna.
Step 8
If your middle name is on behalf of Luke, you do not need to be ashamed of it. On the contrary, be proud that your father is called such a rare and courageous name. By the way, it is worth finding out when dad has a name day and congratulate him.
Step 9
In December, Luke celebrates the day of the angel on the 24th, in January on the 9th and 18th. In February - as many as three times - 11, 20 and on the Day of the Defender of the Fatherland on the 23rd.
Step 10
Luke's name day is then celebrated on the 5th of every spring month. In summer, the day of the angel Luke falls on June 11 and 28, July 3 and 10, August 12 and 31.
Step 11
In the fall, Orthodox Lucian has a birthday on October 31 and November 19. Catholic Luke has a smaller name day, only 11 times a year.
