The name Luke comes from the Greek name Loukas, meaning "man from Lucania." Luke later became a derivation from Lucas. The name constantly tops the charts in America, but it is most popular in Ireland.

What is the meaning of the phrase, “What is in a name”, by Shakespeare? This phrase means that external labels or titles given to you do not change your true essence. This truth can be applied to human existence also. The soul of every human being is eternal, immortal, unchanging, permanent truth, peace, bliss, consciousness. The external body, mind, senses and identity are created to realize it. In this journey of self realization, one accumulates many memories, beliefs and false impressions and gets stuck in the illusion called Life. But for the seeker who has touched his pure soul, the external self is just a Name. And just like a Rose by any other name would smell as sweet no matter whatever is the name given to the external garb, the pure soul of every human being would be always what it is and not just what definition of a given name may suggest. In the end it is all about keeping it REAL…

It is an interesting fact to find what a person's name means. However, we should also understand that names hold no definition over what kind of person the owner of the name is or shall become. That is to say, names do not define who we are, but rather our actions. Our names were given to us from before anyone could know what personality traits we would exhibit, before we decided our beliefs, before our capability to express ourselves using words. Names weren’t selected based on the person we were or are going to turn out to be, and they therefore cannot define us as people. Tying into that is the phrase “A rose by any other name would smell as sweet”. It suggests that a rose, no matter what one calls it, is still fundamentally a rose. It would smell the same, even if someone calls it, may be like, a daffodil. Changing the name wouldn’t make the physical plant change, and it would remain a rose. It is the same way with people. Changing someone’s name doesn’t change who the person is, and it simply makes them known as something else. However, they’re still the same person. Let’s say your parents named you Steve. You are able to go back in time and change what they name you. Now, they’ve named you David. You would still grow up, in both timelines, to be the same person, just by a different name.
