Fortuna is Latin in Origin.
Fortuna is a feminine given name from Latin fortuna, meaning luck, fortune, or fate, related to fors, chance. In Roman religion, Fortuna was the capricious goddess who dispensed prosperity and determined destiny, often symbolized by a cornucopia and the Wheel of Fortune. The theonym passed into personal use in Late Antiquity, with inscriptions attesting to it across the Roman world, and its sense evokes both good luck and the turning of fate.
Use continued sporadically through the Middle Ages, aided by devotion to Saint Fortunata and numerous male saints named Fortunatus, and revived with Renaissance classicism. Today it is rare but recognized in Italy, Spain, Slovenia, and Croatia, and also appears as a surname in Romance and Maltese contexts. Variants and related forms include Fortunata (Italian/Spanish/Portuguese), Fortuné/Fortunée (French), Fortunato (masculine), and Fortunatus (Latin, ecclesiastical). Possible diminutives are Una and Tuni; semantic cousins include Felicity and Bona.
