An attractive, widely appealing, multicultural option, Yuna has its roots in Japanese, Breton, Korean, Chinese.

In Korean, its meaning varies depending on which kanji combination you use, but some options are "willow", "to reach for abundance", and "happy". As a Chinese name, it is linked to the gemstone, jade, while as a Dutch name (and Nordic name more widely), it may be an alternative spelling of Juna or Junia.
Given to nearly 200 girls in the US in a recent year, it is a familiar but not overly popular choice.
