Luke
New Testament author
Luke is a masculine given name, biblical in origin—one of the four Gospel writers in the New Testament.
The name remains common in English-speaking countries: Luke was the top baby name in our state last year.
In popular culture, Luke Skywalker from Star Wars has made the name iconic for a generation.
