Lucy's name has two possible origins. The town called Narni in Italy (which was once called Narnia) is the birthplace of a popular local saint known as "Blessed Lucy of Narnia." C. S. Lewis's goddaughter was Lucy Barfield, to whom he dedicated LWW to. However, the character was modeled after Jill Flewett, a girl who lived with Lewis for a time during World War II. Flewett was a diligent girl, and Lewis and his brother soon grew to love her. She went on to study drama and become an actress, and remained friends with Lewis for the rest of his life.
