The name Lucas has already been represented in the Top 100 List, but here the shorter (and older) version can be found as well. In 2010, like in 2009, the name Luke trailed behind Lucas, ending at number 41, although both names slightly rose in popularity since 2009 (and both are currently more popular than ever in the US).
The name probably originated in Greece with Loukas, then gaining popularity with Luke of the New Testament.
