Noun [Norwegian Nynorsk]

Forms: lussinatta [definite, singular], lussinetter [indefinite, plural], lussinettene [definite, plural]
Etymology: From Lussi + natt (“night”). The first part was a norwegianized form of the Latin name Lucia (“Lucy”), after the 4th century Sicilian martyr Saint Lucy. However, in Norwegian folklore, Lussi came to refer to a wight, who would wreak havoc on the night of the winter solstice, as in the Julian calendar which was used at the time, winter solstice fell on Saint Lucy's. Due to her oft malignant nature, some have proposed a connection to Lucifer as an etymological influence. Either name is related to lux (“light”), ultimately derived from the Proto-Indo-European root *lewk-.
