Lukiah is a lovely name that I came across when a girl moved into town and we had a class together. Lukiah is pronounced [name_u]Lou[/name_u]-[name_u]Kai[/name_u]-uh, and she goes by [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] as a nickname. With this being an unfamiliar name (at least where I’m from) I was wondering what any of you berries thought of the name? All opinions are welcome.
Lukiah is a name which “appears” to be a smoosh of [name_m]Luke[/name_m] and [name_m]Josiah[/name_m] but it actually may be African in origin. I’ve heard of a couple of women from Uganda and Zimbabwe with this name. Is the girl in your class African-American by any chance? The name isn’t bad but it sounds more of a masculine choice than feminine.
Kind of sounds like a variation of [name_f]Lucia[/name_f].
