Origin of Luke

  • From Middle English luke, leuke, lewke (“lukewarm, tepid"), from an unexplained variant or extension of Middle English lewe (“warm, lukewarm, tepid"), from Old English hlÄ“ow (“warm"), perhaps due to confusion with Old English wlæc (“tepid, lukewarm, cool").

    From Wiktionary

  • English form of Latin Lucas, from Ancient Greek Λουκᾶς (Loukas, “man from Lucania").
