Úna Name Meaning, Origin & Pronunciation
Úna means uncertain, perhaps lamb. From Old Irish Úna, of uncertain meaning, often linked to lamb or hunger
Úna is an ancient name of uncertain meaning. Some link it to the Irish word uan, meaning lamb, while others point to the word for hunger. It is borne in legend by Úna, queen of the fairies in Irish folklore, whose English form Oonagh is quite common. Because it is also an English and Latin word meaning one, it works easily across languages. The accent is optional and affects only the length of the vowel. The name is short, gentle and quietly traditional, a good option for parents who value simplicity and Irish heritage.
