Meaning & origin
Lunna is a modern, rare variation of the increasingly popular name Luna. First recorded in the United States in 2004, Lunna saw a gradual rise in usage, peaking in 2022 before settling into modest usage. As of 2025, the name ranks 4,265th nationally, with approximately 1 in 48,705 newborns receiving it. Its trajectory indicates steady growth since 2005, aligning with the broader trend of celestial and vowel-ending feminine names. Lunna is most common in Massachusetts and Texas, reflecting its appeal across diverse regions. The name's simplicity and melodic sound contribute to its quiet but consistent adoption among parents seeking an uncommon variant of a beloved classic.
Lunna is almost certainly a respelling or variant of Luna, the Latin word for moon, which has been used as a given name since the Renaissance. The variant with double 'n' likely emerged in the early 2000s as a fashionable alternative, following the trend of modifying vowel endings in girls' names. It remains a rare and modern coinage in English-speaking countries.
