Lukasz is the Polish form of a name that comes ultimately from the Greek Loukas, literally meaning a person from Lucania, a region of southern Italy. The name moved into Latin as Lucas and became widespread in Christian Europe because of Saint Luke, the author of the Gospel of Luke in the New Testament. That biblical connection helped the name travel widely and become established in many languages.

In Polish the name appears as Łukasz, written with the letter Ł. In international contexts it is often rendered without the diacritic as Lukasz. Over centuries the name developed local pronunciations and short forms. It has remained popular in Poland while also showing steady use across Slavic and European countries. Where Saint Luke is part of religious or cultural heritage the name often carries a respectful, traditional tone, while in secular contexts it reads as simply classic and dependable.
