The Italian form, arriving through Britain
Luca is the Italian version of the same name Latin wrote as Lucas, and it reached the English registers from Italian rather than from Latin — largely through Italian families in Britain and then through fashion. It sits fourth among boys names in England and Wales, well ahead of Lucas there, and fourteenth in the United States. The final A, which reads as feminine to English eyes, is an ordinary masculine ending in Italian.
A total of ten and what that costs
L is 3, U is 3, C is 3 and A is 1. Three letters at the same value is unusual, and the fourth adds only one, so the whole name comes to ten — which folds to 1, the lowest Expression available. The consonants L and C make 6 and stay there. The vowel column is affected by the one disagreement between the tables in this name: U is 3 in the breakdown above but 2 in the soul cipher, so with A the Soul Urge is 3 rather than 4.
How does this differ from Lucas?
Lucas adds a final S worth one, taking the total from ten to eleven. That single point changes the Expression from 1 to 2.
Is Luka with a K the same?
It is not. K is worth 2 against C at 3, so the total falls to nine and both the Expression and the Personality move.
Why do three of the four letters weigh the same?
L, U and C occupy the third position of the first, second and third rows of the table, and every row is priced the same way.
