Lucretia is an Ancient Roman female name, the feminine form of Lucretius which is of uncertain etymology; it may be derived from Latin lucrum meaning “profit, wealth; gain; advantage” derived from PIE root word *leh₂u- (profit, gain). It’s also possible that the name may be derived form a Etruscan source.
