I need help figuring out my name in japanese!
So in the Japanese language, it is said that the sound the letter "L" makes does not exist in their tongue. I was wondering what would be my Japanese name, or if i can substitute it with another thing close to it?

Since there is no L sound, it is replaced by R in Japanese.
As for transcribing your name, Lucio, you have the encumbrance of options:
ルチオ
ルーチョ
ルシオ
It depends on how *you* pronounce your name (there is more than one way to say "Lucio") so pick accordingly.
Enjoy.

Foreign names or words with L, become R. I am not 100% how your name is pronounced, but I would think it would be close to: ルシーオ
