Meaning & origin
Lucrezia, the Italian form of Lucretia, has a distinguished history rooted in ancient Rome. The name saw its first recorded use in the United States in 1914, but remained rare for most of the 20th century. Since 2010, its popularity has been rising, reaching a peak in 2013. In 2025, it ranks 11,932nd nationally, with approximately 1 in every 229,610 girls receiving the name. The name carries a strong Italian heritage and is often associated with Renaissance elegance, though it also evokes the tragic figure of Lucretia. While not among the most common choices, its steady ascent suggests a growing appreciation for its classic, melodic sound.
Lucrezia is the Italian form of the Latin name Lucretia, which is derived from the Roman clan name Lucretius, possibly from Latin lucrum meaning 'profit, wealth'. The name is famously associated with the legendary Roman noblewoman Lucretia, whose story was central to the founding of the Roman Republic. It has been used in Italy since the Renaissance, notably by the Borgia family.
