Luke is a masculine given name widely used in English. It is also the traditional English name of the evangelist associated with the Gospel of Luke in the New Testament.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
Luke は男性名で、聖書では Gospel of Luke「ルカによる福音書」と結び付けて覚えられます。人名なら Luke joined のように大文字で書き、書名でも Luke を用います。Lucas は対応する長い形の名前ですが、Luke が常に Lucas の愛称というわけではなく、独立した名でもあります。
Associate Luke with two common contexts: an ordinary man’s given name and the biblical Gospel of Luke. In both cases, the capital L signals a proper name. Lucas is a closely related name and can help you remember the form, but Luke is also commonly given as an independent name rather than merely used as a nickname. Picture the contrast between “Luke joined the volunteer group” and “the Gospel of Luke”; one identifies a modern person, while the other names a New Testament book and its traditional evangelist.

luke の語源・成り立ち Etymology
Luke（ルーク）はラテン語 Lucas に由来し、ギリシャ語 Loukas（ルカニア地方の人）が原形。Loukas は古代ギリシャ語 leukos（白い、光）と関連するとされる。聖書の福音書記者ルカとして広く知られ、Lucas, Lucian なども同根の名前。
Luke entered English through Latin Lucas, from Greek Loukas. The Greek name is generally understood as meaning a person from Lucania, a region of southern Italy. It became prominent through Luke the Evangelist and the New Testament books traditionally associated with him. Although the name has sometimes been connected with Greek leukos, meaning “white” or “bright,” that relationship is not certain.
