Lucresia, a compelling female given name of Latin origin, is derived from the word 'lucrare,' meaning 'to earn' or 'gain.' It carries connotations of industriousness and prosperity. The name gained popularity in the Middle Ages due to its association with Saint Lucresia, an early Christian martyr. However, it remains relatively uncommon, making it a distinctive choice for parents seeking a unique yet historic name for their daughter.
