Lukah

Lukah is a spelling of Luca or Luka, names in the same family as Luke. Their older form, Loukas, referred to someone from Lucania, a region of southern Italy. The final h is part of the modern spelling and does not change that geographical name history.

Luke became widely known through the New Testament and the Gospel bearing his name, which helped its forms travel across languages. Luca is familiar in Italian, while Luka appears in several other European traditions. Lukah brings that international family into a distinctive written form. For parents drawn to the warm, open ending of Luca, it offers a close comparison; the main practical difference is the extra final letter that may need to be mentioned when spelling it aloud.
