== Toponymy == To the [[Ancient Rome|Ancient Romans]], Lucca was known as ''Luca''. From more recent and concrete toponymic studies, the name Lucca has references that lead to "sacred grove" ([[Latin]]: ''lucus''), "to cut" (Latin: ''lucare'') and "luminous space" (''leuk'', a term used by the first European populations). The origin apparently refers to a wooded area deforested to make room for light or to a clearing located on a river island of [[Serchio]] debris, in the middle of wooded areas.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Rossebastiano|first=Alda|title=Dizionario di toponomastica|pages=427|language=it}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|last=Treccani|first=Giovanni|title=Enciclopedia Italiana di Scienze, Lettere ed Arti|publisher=Treccani|pages=560|language=it}}</ref>
