Irene Luxbacher: Hello, my name is Irene Luxbacher. My first name, Irene, in Greek means peace. My last name Luxbacher is a rather uncommon name even in Austria which is where my father's from. I'm told Lux is Latin and it means light, and Bach, as in Johannes Sebastian Bach is German and it means brook, or small stream. When I was little my friends used to think my name sounded like a football position, as in quarterback or field backer or line backer, Luxbacher, hut.
