About Noctiluna

In Roman and Sabine mythology, Noctiluna was occasionally used as an epithet for Luna, the embodiment and goddess of the moon. Meaning "night-shiner" or more literally "night moon", it is derived from the Latin elements nox and luna.

Extremely rare, it may have been inspired by Noctiluca, meaning "something that shines by night", or more figuratively, "moon" or "lantern." Noctiluna might by used as an epithet for Juno, who is also a moon goddess in Roman mythology.

Noctiluna might appeal to those who like the idea of Luna but want something bolder with a hint of mystique and witchy-ness around it.

Pronounced nok-ti-LOO-nuh.
