Meaning & Origin of Aluna
Origin: uncertain / modern.
A common claim: Commonly claimed to be Swahili/African for 'moon' or 'come here'. Actually: This Swahili gloss doesn't hold up -- Swahili's word for moon is mwezi, and there's no attested Swahili word 'aluna' meaning 'come here'; it looks like invented folk etymology.
