Lucio

Lucio is a masculine given name of Latin origin. It derives from Lucius, a Roman praenomen meaning light or illumination, and it is used in several Romance-language cultures, including Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese. In contemporary usage, Lucio appears as a first name in these regions, while the form Lúcio with an accent is common in Portuguese-speaking countries. The name can also appear as a surname in some cases.

Notable people with the given name include Italian artist Lucio Fontana (1899–1968), founder of Spatialism; Italian singer-songwriter Lucio Dalla (1943–2012); and Italian film director Lucio Fulci (1927–1996). In Brazilian football, the name is often rendered Lúcio; the defender Lucimar Ferreira da Silva, known simply as Lúcio, had a long international career.

In popular culture, Lúcio is the name of a Brazilian-born hero in the video game Overwatch, named Lúcio Correia dos Santos. He is a support character who uses a sonic amplifier to heal teammates and boost movement speed, with the ultimate ability Sound Barrier that grants a shield to the team.
