THE BLACK HAND FORUM

The nickname comes from his true last name, Lucania. His nickname was "Charlie Lucky", which is how Valachi and other contemporary figures knew him.

The guy who did the comic books Chris something covered this in a book he wrote on Lucky. IIRC he didn’t really clear the air on the subject but covered it from all angles and let the reader make up their own minds.

IIRC the papers already referred to him as Lucky after the attack, so it's likely he got the nickname somewhere else.

I think the attack he survived to get the moniker Lucky, is the same on the put the scar on his face.

Luciano got that handle playing in card games. The day he survived the attacks he already had the nickname there was a newspaper headline which read "Lucky not so Lucky" so it likely wasn't Lanksy visiting him in the hospital saying "Yeah, that's you :idea: Lucky :!: "

There's a tongue twister in there.. "How likely could Lucky be labeled Lucky by Lanksy while tabloids leaked Lucky wasn't likely so Lucky." Eh, not bad.

Maranzano and masseria were completely retarted thats why luciano became the boss
