What S in a Name?
By Mildred Marshall.
LIJCRETA.

Though Lucretia was the name
borne by the notorious daughter OF
the Borgia, 1t is one of the quaint
est and most .old-fashioned of names
in this country. 1t Is a far cry
from the ancient Rome to modern
New England. but the name has
completed the transition with very
few changes to mark the successive
stages of its evolution.
There are two theories among
etymologists in regard to the orig
inal source of Lucretia. Some con-
tend that it comes from the Latin
word Lucrum. meaning gain" and
for that reason. Lucretia is said to
signify gain. On the other hand
there is much evidence to prove
that its real source was in the Latin
wordf or light, lux. Many feminine
names have been derived from this
root and the same word has sup
piled surnames without number,
1t is believed, therefore, that the
noted old gems. Lucretiu from
which Lucretia is directly descend
ed. was only another OF the deriva-
tives of lux. 'Lucrece, combing the
fleece under the midnight lamp"
the famous old Roman tale. inspired
Shakespeare to write one of his
earliest poems. Despite her nolo-
riety, Lucretia Borgia probably es-
tablished the name of Lucretia in
italy and in early modern times It
was one of the few classical names
to be revived.
France has a Lucrece which is
popular and England imported Lu-
cretia in the eighteenth century.
Lucretia's talismanic stone is the
red-hearted ruby. 1t has the power
to bring her strength of body, an
invincible spirit and success in ev-
cry undertaking. Tuesday is her
lucky day and her lucky number.
