What does Lucy mean?
/ˈlusi/2 syllablesOrigin: Latin

Lucy comes from the Latin lux, meaning "light." It's the familiar English form of Lucia, a name long associated with brightness and, through Saint Lucia, with the return of light in the dark of winter.

Lucy has a bright, cheerful sound that suits a pet with a sunny disposition. It's a name that feels instantly warm, whether tacked onto a golden-coated dog or a sleek black cat.
