 | Lutsk is an ancient Slavic town, mentioned in the Hypatian Chronicle as Luchesk in the records under 1085. The etymology of the name is unclear. There are three hypotheses:
* the name is derived from the old-Slavic word luka, an arc or bend (of a river).
* the name is derived from Luka, the chieftain of the Dulebs, an ancient Slavic tribe living in the area
* the name is derived from Luchanii (Luchans), an ancient branch of the aforementioned tribe
