Moone is English, Irish in Origin.

Moone is a modern, gender‑neutral given name taken from the English word and surname Moon, ultimately from Old English mōna and Proto‑Germanic *mēnô, meaning “moon.” As a given name it evokes night light, tides, cycles, intuition, and calm radiance; its imagery aligns with the broader wave of nature and celestial names favored in contemporary English-speaking countries.

In records, Moone appears more often as a surname spelling in England and Ireland, well attested in parish documents from the 16th–18th centuries, with occasional transfer to the first‑name spot in the 19th century. Current usage is rare but rising. Variants and relatives include the simpler Moon, the diminutive Moonie, and the nickname Mo. Note that Mooney is a related surname used as a given name but comes from Irish Ó Maonaigh (“descendant of Maonach,” from maon ‘wealth, esteem’), not the lunar root. Cross‑language cognates include Luna, Lune, and Selene.
