Her name is based on her concept, which is 'travelling sound', meaning words which are translated from one language to another. Her surname combines 'Meguri' (巡, circulate or around) and 'Ne' (音, sound), while the name 'Luka' invokes the homophonous pronunciations of 流 ( ru, flow), 歌 ( ka, song) and 香 ( ka, scent), thus making: 'songs to all around the world as scent spreads.'
