Why did the pope choose the name Luke?

There has never been a Pope Luke. Improved: That, or that he just wanted the name Luke. Maybe he thought it was special, maybe it had a meaning for him, but he chose it maybe because there hasn't been a Pope Luke, but there are many names that haven't been by a Pope, so it wasn't just that that made him choose it. Maybe it had a special meaning to him? Nobody will know exactly, just him. However, it was also said that Luke was a Physician which falls under the realm of Science. And so he chose that to bridge Religion and Science. A way to show they can co-exist.
