Lucie
From Latin lux, "light": the French form of a name Polish keeps as Łucja. Meeting one here is memorable, since most Poles have never come across the Lucie spelling.
Lucie Pronunciation

What Lucie means
Where Lucie comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Lucie comes from Latin, from the noun lux, which means light. It is the French form of a name known across Europe, and Polish keeps its own version in Łucja. The short meaning stays plain: światło, light.
The name reaches back to Saint Lucy of Syracuse, a martyr of the early fourth century whose feast falls on the thirteenth of December. Under the old Julian calendar that date sat near the winter solstice, the darkest stretch of the year, so a name built on light suited it well. In Sweden her day still brings processions of candles and a girl crowned with them.
On a Polish class register Łucja and Lucie can sit a few lines apart, one familiar and old, the other borrowed and newer. They part in sound and spelling. Yet both grow from the same Latin lux, and both mean światło, light.
