圣·
卢克斯 transliterates Saint Lukes / St. Lucas — typically the name of a Catholic or Anglican hospital, school, or church (the apostle Luke is traditionally rendered
路加, Lùjiā, in Chinese Bibles, while
卢克斯 is a phonetic Lukes). The
圣 (shèng, holy/saint) prefix on a transliterated name signals a Christian patronymic:
圣保罗 (St. Paul),
圣彼得 (St. Peter),
圣母 (the Holy Mother).
