Meaning & origin
Beuna is a rare feminine name that saw its peak usage in 1896, when it was most frequently recorded. According to the data, the name has a stable trajectory, meaning it has never experienced a dramatic surge in popularity. It was first recorded in 1888 and has not appeared in the top ranks in subsequent years. Because the name is so uncommon, its etymology remains uncertain, though it is often grouped with turn-of-the-century American names like Beulah.
Beuna is a rare feminine name with unclear derivation. It may have originated as a variant of Beulah, a biblical place name meaning 'married' in Hebrew, or as a shortened form of names like Arubina or other -beuna endings. The name saw modest usage in the United States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, peaking in 1896, but has since fallen out of common use.
