Lunaria is a modern coinage rather than a name with a long documented history — it appears to draw from the Latin word luna, meaning moon. It's used as a girl's name and is pronounced loo-NAIR-ee-uh (IPA /luːˈnɛriə/). If you're weighing it for a child, it's worth knowing upfront that there isn't an established etymological record behind it beyond that apparent Latin root.
