Johnluke is a modern compound name combining John and Luke. John derives from the Hebrew Yochanan, meaning 'God is gracious,' while Luke comes from the Latin Lucas, meaning 'from Lucania' or possibly 'light.' As a double-barreled first name, it emerged in the late 20th century in the United States, particularly among Christian families seeking to honor multiple biblical figures. The name has been recorded since 1991, with a notable rise in popularity during the 2010s.
