About the name Luna
Luna is the Latin word for the moon. In Roman religion Luna was the divine personification of the moon, often shown driving a chariot across the night sky, and she corresponds to the Greek goddess Selene. The word survives as the ordinary term for the moon in Italian, Spanish and other Romance languages. As a given name Luna has literary connections through Luna Lovegood, the dreamy Ravenclaw student in J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series. The adjective lunar comes from the same root.
