What Does the Name Lunamarie Mean?
Lunamarie is a two-part feminine name formed by joining Luna with Marie. It has no single-word etymology of its own; its sense comes from the two names it combines.
Luna is Latin for "moon," and it was also the name of the Roman goddess of the moon, identified with the Greek Selene. The Latin noun is connected with lūmen, "light," and lūcēre, "to shine," a link Roman writers themselves noted. As a given name, Luna keeps the literal sense "moon."
Marie is the French form of Maria, which comes from Greek Mariam and Hebrew Miryam, the name of Moses' sister in the Bible. The meaning of Miryam is uncertain. Explanations such as "beloved," "bitter," and "rebellious" have been proposed, and none is accepted as settled.
Taken as a whole, Lunamarie means "moon" joined to Marie, rather than a word with a derivation of its own.
Lunamarie Name History & Origins
Luna was the Roman goddess of the moon, and the Latin word lūna was the ordinary term for the moon itself; a temple to Luna stood on the Aventine Hill in Rome. Despite that religious background, Luna was seldom used as a personal name in medieval and early modern Europe, where names of saints and biblical figures dominated. It was used in Italy and Spain, and it became more common as a girl's name in English-speaking countries in the later 20th century.
Marie has a separate history. As the French form of Maria, it spread through Europe as a name of the Virgin Mary and became one of the most common feminine names in France and other Catholic countries. French custom made wide use of two-part feminine names in which Marie came either first (Marie-Claire, Marie-Anne) or second (Anne-Marie). German-speaking families used the same habit in Annemarie and Rosemarie.
Lunamarie follows that pattern of compound names, with Luna as the first element and Marie in second position. The pairing itself is recent, since Luna only became a familiar given name in English within the last few decades; compounds of this type generally have no recorded history apart from the two names they join.
