About the name Úna
Úna is a traditional Irish girls’ name of uncertain etymology. While some folk sources have linked it to the Old Irish word for ‘lamb’, this is not supported by linguistic evidence. More plausibly, it may be related to the Irish word ‘uán’, meaning ‘unity’ or ‘one’, though this is not definitively established. In Irish mythology, Úna appears as the queen of the fairies and wife of Finvarra. The name has been used in Ireland for centuries, and its Anglicized forms include Una and Oona.
