What Lucyla means
Where Lucyla comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Lucyla grows from Latin. Behind it stand lux, the word for light, and lucere, to shine. Latin used lux for daylight and for the first light of morning, prima lux. The same root sits inside English words a reader meets often: lucid, translucent, elucidate. The meaning recorded here, light, stays close to the surface.
The name reads as formal and old, not a recent coinage. The link to light was never a later moral gloss bolted onto Lucyla. It is the origin itself.
Picture a name-day form at the urząd with Lucyla written in the first field. The bearer carries a Latin noun for light, whether or not anyone notices. No saint or legend props the name up. Its Polish gloss is short. Światło.

Lucyla appears 3 times in the Polish name day calendar, never as a main name. The first of these dates is 4 May.
