What is the meaning of the name Louna ?

The baby name Louna is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced LOO-nah (English: /ˈluːnə/; French: /luna/).

Louna is in Origin.

Louna is a modern Francophone variant of Luna, from Latin luna “moon,” the Roman moon goddess. In French it also works as a blend of Lou (a nickname for Louise/Louis) with the -na ending, a fashionable pattern among recent “Lou-” names. The meaning keeps the lunar sense - moonlight and cyclical renewal - with a distinctly French look.

Usage follows the wider European revival of lunar names since the late 20th century; Louna rose sharply in France in the 2000s–2010s and appears elsewhere as an alternative to Luna. Variants include Luna and Lunah; related forms are Lou, Louise, and Louane, with lunar counterparts such as Selene/Selena. Common nicknames are Lou and Lulu; note that Luana, sometimes associated by sound, is separate in origin.
