Quick snapshot to help you decide if it fits your shortlist.

Literally ‘moon’ in Latin, and strongly associated with moon imagery.

Luna is a feminine name with Latin roots that’s widely recognized across languages, especially in modern usage. It reads as simple and direct, and its association is unusually clear because it matches a common Latin word. Etymologically, Luna comes from Latin luna, meaning ‘moon’. In Roman mythology, Luna is also used as a personification (and in some sources, a deity) of the moon, so the name carries both a straightforward vocabulary meaning and a mythological reference point. Pronunciation in English is commonly LOO-nuh (two syllables). The main practical tip is spelling consistency: Luna is short and standard, which helps it travel well across locales.

Etymology: From Latin luna ‘moon’; also connected to Roman mythology where Luna appears as a personification/deity of the moon in some sources.
