Shuna Origin and Meaning

Shuna is a feminine name with Scottish Gaelic origins, particularly associated with Scotland's western islands. The name is thought to derive from an island in the Inner Hebrides called Shuna, giving it strong geographical ties. In some contexts, it may also be related to the Hebrew name Shoshana, meaning 'lily' or 'rose.' Shuna has a gentle yet distinctive sound, remaining fairly uncommon internationally, which appeals to parents seeking a name with Scottish heritage that isn't widely used. The name carries a natural, earthy quality, evoking the rugged beauty of Scotland's island landscapes. Its brevity and straightforward pronunciation make it accessible despite its uncommon status.
