Laune is in Origin.

Laune is a rare given name with several plausible roots. In an Irish context, it can be toponymic, taken from the River Laune in County Kerry; the river name’s older Gaelic form is debated, so the sense is geographic rather than lexical. In German, Laune is a common noun meaning “mood” or “humor,” giving the name a figurative sense of cheer or temperament. Some modern usages treat Laune as a stylistic variant of Launa/Luna, linking it to the Latin luna, “moon,” and to Laura/Lauren.

Usage as a forename is scattered: it appears in late-19th to 20th-century records in Ireland, Britain, and the United States, typically as a transferred surname, place-inspired choice, or inventive spelling. Variants and related forms include Launa, Launé, Launie/Launy; cognates include Luna and Lauren. The name is used for all genders, though feminine instances are more common.
