Answer 4

I found this information for you.

Surname: Luc

Recorded in over one hundred spelling forms ranging from Lucas, Luke, Luck and Luckett (English and Scottish), Lucas and Lucaud (France), Luca (Italy), Lucks and Lauks (Germany), Luasek and Kasek (Czech), Lukasik (Poland), Lukashevich (Ukraine), Lukovic (Croatia), and many, many, more, this is a 12th century surname of 'Crusader' origins. It derives from the ancient Greek given name "Loucas", meaning the man from Lucania, formerly a region of Italy. The Latin form of the name as Lucas, was a great favourite as a personal name in the Middle Ages, due in part to the popularity of St. Luke the Evangelist. St. Luke was a doctor and a painter, and there is an ancient suggestion that the name means "a patient person". Crusader anmes are those associated with the various expeditions in the 11th and 12th centuries to free the Holy land from the Muslim grip. All failed, but returning warriors often gave their children names associated with the biblical region. This was one of them. The name may however also be locational, from the town of Luick in Flanders. An example in this respect being that of Lucas de Luke, who is recorded in the Pipe Rolls of the city of London on 1274. English recordeds are generally much earlier than those of other European countries, however there are early recordings in Germany Ulrich der Luk being recorded in Dorfzaum in 1310 amd Johannes Lucker in Ehenhem in 1422. London Church registers also list the marriage of Christopher Lucas to Margaret Medcalfe, on January 27th 1571 at St. Botolph's church, Bishopsgate. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Euerard Lucas, which was dated 1153, in the register of the Knight Templars (Crusaders) of England in the 12th Century. This was during the reign of King Stephen, known as "Count of Blois", 1135 - 1154.

Hope this helps.

Answer 5

You cannot tell someones nationality by their last name.  The origins of the last name usually has nothing to do with a person's nationality.  First, your nationality is that of whatever country you are born and raised in.  Your parents could be Italian, with a name like Grimalidi or something, but if they move to France and that is where you are born and raised, then YOUR nationality is French.  Also, many families end up with names that have nothing to do with where their family came from.  Perfect example is the slaves.  Most adopted the last name of their owners, and to this day, their descendants still carry that last name, but that does not mean they now have European heritage nor are a European national.  So, the only thing you can tell about a last name is research the origins of the name.  But that will not tell you ANYTHING about the person with that name.
