I'd like to see how my name should appear: Luca is said to be from 'lux'
(Latin for light) by the popular etymology, but it's probably from Greek
'Loukanos', which means 'someone from Lucania', a region of Southern Italy.
Mangiat is a distorsion of Friulian dialect 'mungiaat', nomen agentis from
the verb 'to milk' (OK, I'm not of noble origins... :)

Hopefully

Luca
