Etymology
In Latin, "Lux" means "Light", while "Sanctus" means "Holy". "Murakumo" comes from "Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi" which is the original name of "Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi". Literally, "Murakumo" means "Gathering Clouds", so a literal translation for the localized name of Lux Sanctus: Murakumo could be "Holy Light: Gathering Clouds".
