Luna

Luna is a name I have not heard for the Goddess of the Moon, it sounds very

The name of Diane comes from the Romans. They are the ones who took the name Luna and changed it to Diane as part of their beliefs. I am not sure where the original name of Luna came from but it is said she rode the night skys with her chariot giving light to the night world. The nights that were moonless were attributed to her going to see her lover.
