Lucy, the English form of Lucia, is derived from the Latin word lux, meaning "light." It's a classic girl's name that spent much of the early 1900s in the Social Security Administration's top-100 before falling out of the top-500 in the 1970s. Lucy has since made a comeback after re-entering the top-100 in 2010 and has now been a top-50 girl's name every year since 2019. It's the name singer-actress Annaleigh Ashford chose for her daughter Lucy Jean, born in 2024, and the name TV host Andy Cohen gave his daugher Lucy Eve, born in 2022.
