Ancient root and name story

Origin: Luna is a Latin and Romance-language name used in Roman mythology and in Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, English, and Dutch. Meaning: it means the moon in Latin and the Romance languages, and it is also tied to the Roman moon-goddess tradition.

Etymology sources record Latin luna as moon and goddess of the moon, with an English common-noun and personification use appearing by the late 14th century. The name therefore sits on top of a long-standing lunar word and cultural tradition rather than a single historical bearer.

Popularity data records Luna in the United States as far back as 1880 and into the present, and the name has risen sharply in modern use. It gives parents a gentle, celestial name whose meaning is clear and well documented, drawing on Roman lunar culture without needing to depict the goddess herself.
