Meaning & History

(female) Feminine form of the Roman family name Lucretius, which is of unknown derivation. In Roman legend, this is the name of a Roman maiden of the 5th century bc who killed herself after being raped by the King of Rome; the resulting scandal led to the end of the monarchy. It was also borne by a Spanish martyr who perished under Diocletian, but it is now chiefly remembered as the name of Lucrezia Borgia (1480–1519), regarded in legend as a demon poisoner who had incestuous relations with her father, Pope Alexander VI, and her brother Cesare. Although these allegations cannot now be disproved, history records her, after her marriage in 1501 to Alfonso d'Este, Duke of Ferrara, as being in reality a beautiful, intelligent, and fair-minded woman, and a generous patron of the arts.
