Lucanus is a male given name of Latin origin, derived from the word 'lucus', which means 'grove' or 'wood'. It was popularized by Emperor Lucius Verus, who ruled jointly with Marcus Aurelius during the 2nd century AD. The name Lucanus is not commonly found in many countries today, making it somewhat unique and distinctive.
"Lucanus was quite popular in 1977 with five births that year."
