Luned is Welsh in Origin.
Luned is a Welsh feminine name, a medieval short form of Eluned. It derives from Welsh eilun “image, idol, icon” with the feminine suffix -ed, giving the sense “idolized one” or simply “image.”
Attested in Middle Welsh sources, the form Luned is best known from the Arthurian romance Owain, or The Lady of the Fountain, where she is the shrewd handmaiden who enables the hero’s success; the name is also linked to a 5th‑century Welsh saint recorded as Eluned. Related forms include Eluned (standard Welsh), Eiluned (literary), Lunet/Lunete (Old French), and English Lynette, Lynet, Linet/Linette, transmitted through French and English Arthurian tradition. Rare today yet distinctly Welsh, Luned offers compact grace backed by deep literary and hagiographical roots. Usage has seen modest modern revival in Wales.
