Ancient Rome

Our Moon has had many names throughout history. The Ancient Romans called it Luna.

The ancient Romans called the moon "Luna" because it was the Latin word for "moon" and was also the name of their moon goddess. The name likely comes from the Proto-Indo-European root *leuks-* or *louks-*, meaning "light" or "brightness," which aligns with the moon's luminous presence in the night sky.
