What is the name Luke short for?

The name Luke is Greek. It means "A man from Lucania". It also can mean a doctor from Lucania. If you look in the Bible, the Apostle Luke was a doctor hailing from Lucania. (I think.) Try reading the Bible for more information on Luke the Apostle, or try looking at a Christian History book with the Apostles in it. It should give you more information on the name, 'Luke', Luke the Apsotle, and his origin. Or just read a baby name book for just info on the name. However, you will not find Luke Skywalker in the Bible! :D


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.
