Luna-May: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 2018.
Luna-May is a modern, hyphenated combination of two distinct names. Luna, from Latin, means "moon," and in Roman mythology was the divine embodiment of the moon itself. May has two possible origins: it can derive from the month of May, named for the Roman goddess Maia, or from the Hebrew name Mary, meaning "beloved" or "wished-for child." The most famous bearer of the first element is Luna Lovegood, the beloved eccentric from J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series. There are no direct place connections, though the name Luna has inspired many businesses and even a NASA lunar orbiter. This double-barrelled name has become increasingly popular in Scotland since the early 2000s, reflecting a broader trend for combining celestial and traditional names.
