Salune is in Origin.

Salune is a rare contemporary given name, likely built around the Romance root lune, French for “moon” (from Latin luna), with a prefixed Sa- echoing names like Salma or Salomé. Its sound also recalls the Greek lunar name Selene and the French Solène, so parents often choose it for its soft, celestial aura rather than a single fixed etymology. Because Salune resembles the French phrase sa lune (“his/her moon”), it is sometimes interpreted poetically as “her moon” or “beloved moon,” making “moon; lunar” the prevailing meaning.

Usage is recent, appearing sporadically in the late 20th and early 21st centuries in both Francophone and Anglophone settings; it remains uncommon. Variants and near-forms include Saluna, Saluné, and Selune/Seluna; related names are Luna, Selene, and Solène. The name carries gentle, nocturnal connotations - intuition, calm light, and cyclical renewal.
