/ˈluːk/

(“luke” is a male given name, and less commonly, a ‘surname’)
(the name “luke” is the ‘english’ form of the ‘latin’ name lucas, which comes from the ‘koine greek’ name Λουκᾶς)
(this, in turn, is either a derivation of the Latin name ‘Lucius’ that means “the great Lucius”, or it is a shortened form of this ‘Latin’ name)
(‘Lucius’ means “the bright one” or “the one born at dawn”)
(as in “lucifer”)
(the often seen derivation / explanation of Λουκᾶς as “man from lucania” is not supported by reliable sources)
Although the name is attested in ancient inscriptions, the best known historical use of the name is in the ‘New Testament’.
The Gospel of Luke was written around 70 to 90 AD (the exact years are unknown), and was from here that the name was first popularized.
(‘luke’, who is credited with the authorship of the Gospel of Luke, was a physician who lived around ’30’ to ‘130 AD’)
(‘luke’ is also credited with the ‘book of acts’ in the bible, and also is mentioned by the ‘apostle paul’ in some of paul’s letters to first-century churches)
