Di Luca Name Meaning, Origin and Heraldry

The spelling Di Luca grew out of De Luca, an Italian surname with a long paper trail. It grew out of a personal name: “Of Luca (Luke)”.

How the spelling arose

Di Luca writes “i” in place of the “e” found in De Luca, a typical scribal difference. Spellings drifted because names were written down by ear in parish books, tax rolls and passenger lists. The same family of names includes Luciano.
