The name Pneuma is a girl's name of Greek origin meaning "breath".

In Ancient Greece, Pneuma translated to "breath", though more philosophically, it's related the vital spirit, lifeforce, or soul of a person. Now, it may be associated with a character from the <em>Xenoblade</em> franchise, or with, well, pneumonia (or maybe a pneumothorax).

Nevertheless, five girls received the name in 2024, and it has the benefit of sounding similar to Uma, Una, Nula, and Juna.
