What Does the Name Louna Mean?
Louna is a feminine name usually treated as a variant of Luna, from Latin lūna, "moon." The Latin word is also the source of the Spanish and Italian Luna and of the English adjective lunar. In this derivation, the name's literal meaning is "moon," not a symbolic association. An Arabic origin is sometimes suggested, but Arabic has no native word louna meaning "moon"; the ordinary Arabic word for "moon" is qamar. Arabic-speaking families do use Louna, but it is best explained as a transliteration of the Latin-derived name.
Louna Name History & Origins
Luna was the name of the Roman goddess of the moon and the Latin word for the moon; her temple stood on the Aventine Hill in Rome. The name Luna has been used in Spanish- and Italian-speaking regions and is also familiar in English. Louna is a spelling variant of the same name. Its ou is the French spelling for the "oo" sound, and in French the name is pronounced loo-NAH rather than LOO-nuh. The spelling Louna is also used in Arabic-speaking countries, where it transliterates the same Latin-derived name rather than continuing an independent Arabic name. The classical Latin form is Luna; Louna belongs to the modern spelling variants.
