Lunia is in Origin.

Lunia is a rare feminine given name with several plausible roots. It is often treated as a soft elaboration of Luna, from Latin luna “moon,” hence associated with night light and cyclical renewal. In Slavic contexts, -unia/-nia endings form affectionate diminutives; Lunia appears as such in Polish use - best known from Lunia Czechowska (1894–1970), a sitter of Amedeo Modigliani - functioning as a pet form that later stood alone. Sporadic records place it in Poland and the diaspora in the early 20th century, with modest revival alongside Luna’s rise in the 21st.

Variants and transliterations include Lúnia, Lounia, Lunya/Lunja, and Anglicized Luniah; related names are Luna, Lunette/Lunetta, and Lune. Nicknames include Lu, Lulu, and Nia. Meaning depends on origin: “moon” if from Luna, or the inherited sense of the source name (e.g., Helena “torch,” Leonia “lioness”) in Slavic use.
