- Comments and insights on the name Lukas
Lukas and Klaus are anagrams of each other, they contain the same letters.
My son's (born in '08) name is Lukas. We love this name. We went w/ the traditional Scandinavian spelling, as my husband is Swedish. It does get misspelled sometimes but once someone knows it is spelled with a K, they remember.
We mostly call him Lukas, but also Lukie and Luke. This is a top name in Sweden as well, even though for some reason, it is not listed on this site.- Personal experiences with the name Lukas
