The origin of the distinguished Lauck family can be traced to the historic Scandinavian country of Finland. The surname Lauck is derived from the Finnish name Lauk, a form of the personal name Luke. This name is ultimately derived from the Greek name Loucas, which literally means man from Lucania, referring to a region in southern Italy. The popularity of the name during the medieval era is attributable to the fame of St. Luke the Evangelist, the patron saint of doctors and artists. The Finnish suffixes -anen, -ainen, -inen, -oinen, and -onen mean son of or descendant of.
