Names that mean 'light'

I just realized we had a theme without even trying. Both Luke and Nora mean light (and they have the same number of letters!)

If we can find a 3rd name that has something to do with light, I might stick with it!

Do you know any other names that might fit this theme? Thanks ladies!!

    I think Ellen means light or bright. Eliora is Hebrew for "the Lord is my light."

    *eta checked it out. Ellen does mean "bright, shining light" as does Elena. My guess is that Any variation of Helen/Helena will have that meaning.

    I believe Luz is the Spanish word for light but the pronunciation is the same as for "lose" so...
    This signature is all for YOU. I'm on mobile and can't see crap.

    Um... you don't actually have a theme because Luke does not mean light. I'm sure a million websites have told you that it does, but, as someone who actually does ancient history and languages, I promise you that it doesn't. At all. Likewise Nora. No light-related meaning whatsoever. That said, there are lots of beautiful names that have light-related meanings (I'm going to count moon/sun/star meanings for the sake of variety), for instance:

    Girl:

    Lucia

    Clara

    Orli

    Natela

    Aurora

    Eos

    Niamh

    Astraia/Astraea

    Artemisia

    Artemis


    Boy:

    Apollo

    Phoebus

    Helios

    Orion

    Sirius

    To all of this I shall add:

    Seren
    Nia

    Clare (my name) means light!  It has also gained popularity recently.  Growing up, I was the only Clare in my circle besides my aunt. Oddly enough, "light" was apparently my first word.

    Yep, I have a Claire. Light, bright, clear. 

    Hugo / Hugh means Bright, but more in the way of intelligence.
