If you're looking for an alternative to Luna that's just as adorable and celestial-inspired, Lunette could be your perfect match. A feminine name, Lunette has French origins and ultimately stems from the French word lune or the Latin lūna. Meaning "little moon," this feminine appellation describes what the natural satellite orbiting Earth sometimes looks like to the naked eye. Lunette could also be a diminutive of the Welsh Eluned, meaning “idol,” “image,” and “likeness," so don't be surprised if your tiny tot is always quick to point out the moon, or anything that resembles it.
