With its sweet, familiar sound, Nuna is a multicultural name with a variety of different origins and meanings, making it a versatile yet rare choice. 
 
 As an African name, it likely derives from the Ewe name and word, Nunana, meaning "gift", whereas from its Greenlandic and Inuit origins, it comes from a word for "land," "country," and "earth." As a Jewish name, it has a slightly more convoluted history in that it comes from the ancient Akkadian language. It is taken from the place name Ninevah, or Ninua, itself from nunu meaning "fish."
 
Other possible interpretations of the name include that it is a variation of Nona meaning "ninth"; an Arabic short form of Hanunah, meaning "affectionate, tender"; a form of Nûno or Inûna, a Greenlandic (pet) name used to refer to the youngest in the family; or a variation of Anna, via the Georgian diminutive Anuna, meaning "grace." 
 
It also coincides with Quechua word for "spirit" and "soul", with the Slovenian word for "nun", and the Dutch word for "now". Theere is a possibility it might be used as an alternative transliteration of Noona, a Korean term of endearment (mostly used by men) to refer to an older sister or female friend. 
 
There is also a baby gear company called Nuna, which may stop parents from selecting the name.
