character name: Lumen

[bambiblake007.livejournal.com]

so Dexter has a new character.
her name is Lumen Pierce. (pronounced LOU-men)
i'd never heard the name Lumen b4 so i decided to do sum research.
this is wat i found:

@ www.babynames.com the closest name i could find to Lumen was Lumina.
@ www.wikipedia.com there were several articles on the subject of Lumen.

1.) Lumen (band) a Russian punk band
2.) Lumen (anatomy) the cavity or channel within a tubular structure
3.) Thylakoid Lumen, the inner membrane space of the chloroplast
4.) 141 Lumen, an astroid discovered by the French astronomer Paul Henry in 1875
5.) Lumen (unit) the SI unit of luminous flux

when i did a google search there were answers with everything from:  "the measure of the power of light perceived by the human eye", Loyola University Medical Education Network (LUMEN), and a simple and beautiful puzzle game for OS X and iPhone

i think it's an interesting name.
made up or not, i think it's quite pretty for a girl.
soo wat do ya'll think?

There's a Dutch television host who called her child, a boy, Lumen. I always liked the sound of it. In interviews she's said it means "light", which makes sense. I believe even in Latin it's a conjugation of the word for "light" (lux) but I'm not a 100% sure on that.
