Light-linked, through the Latin Lucius tradition.
The Italian and Spanish personal-name etymologies derive Lucio from Latin Lucius, whose entry relates that Roman name to lux, light. This documented route is distinct from treating Lucio as a Spanish form of Luke.
Latin Lucius, inherited in Italian and Spanish; borrowed through Spanish in Tagalog.
The exact language sections distinguish Italian and Spanish inheritance from the later Spanish-to-Tagalog borrowing. The linguistic route is not reduced to the single source label Spanish.

Counts apply only to the exact spelling, place, year and recorded usage shown. Places are separate; these figures are never added into a worldwide total. Missing or suppressed records never mean zero.
| Place | Year | Recorded usage | Published births | Rank | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Canada | 2024 | Boys | 10 | 1909 | 2025 figures are preliminary. Quebec counts below five are randomly imputed by the publisher before national aggregation. Accents are removed in the source; this profile was matched only where the catalog spelling was unambiguous. Unpublished values are unknown, not zero. Rank basis: source published. |
| France | 2025 | Boys | 55 (rounded to 5) | 711 | Counts are rounded to the nearest multiple of five. Ranks use unrounded publisher counts with randomly ordered ties; equally rounded counts can have different ranks. National coverage excludes Mayotte before 2012. Missing years are unavailable, not zero. Automated direction labels are withheld for this rounded-count series. Rank basis: source published. |
| England & Wales | 2025 | Boys | 10 | 2269 | Source-reported counts; unpublished names are not zero. Rank basis: source published. |
| United States | 2025 | Boys | 146 | 1323 | Source-reported counts; unpublished names are not zero. Rank basis: calculated from published counts. |
Canada, Ireland and France coverage includes confidently matched existing profiles only; unmatched spellings are awaiting review. French counts are rounded to five.
