"Lucania" meaning in Latin

See Lucania in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Proper name

IPA: [ɫuːˈkaː.ni.a] [Classical-Latin], [luˈkaː.ni.a] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: From Lucani + -ia, an Oscan-Samnium tribe of the area. The name's origin is disputed, with suggested connections including Ancient Greek λευκός (leukós, “bright”), Latin lux (“light”), lucus (“sacred wood”), and Ancient Greek λύκος (lúkos, “wolf”), though the first three are all from Proto-Indo-European *lewk-.
