Luna
Featured in baby name books
Luna is Latin and Italian for “moon.” Luna was the Roman moon goddess. The moon suggests mystery and life’s cycles, giving Luna allure, though teasing like “Loony” is a risk. In Woody Allen’s Sleeper, Luna Schlosser is the poet who befriends the unfrozen Miles Monroe.
