That’s a good Suthren name!
The ‘D’ in Cletus.D.Yokel stands for D’Lucius.
So, there’s that.

Lucius derives from Latin word Lux (gen. lucis), meaning “ light “ (< PIE *leuk- “brightness”, Latin verb lucere “to shine”), and is a cognate of the name Lucas. Another etymology proposed is a derivation from Etruscan Lauchum (or Lauchme) meaning “ king “, which however was transferred into Latin as Lucumo.
