most probably from
the Norman personal name Luce (a vernacular form of Latin
Lucia or Lucius). This is generally a female name,
although male bearers are found in France. It was borne by a young
Sicilian maiden and an aged Roman widow, both of whom were martyred
under Diocletian and are venerated as saints.Alternatively, the
surname may be a variant of Lewis.
