Celestial, poetic, and powerful, Altaluna is a Medieval Italian name, combining the elements of Alta, meaning "high" – or "sublime" in a more poetic sense – and the on-trend Luna, meaning "moon".
 
Borne by Altaluna della Scella, the daughter of a 14th century lord of Verona, and the wife of the Duke of Bavaria, it blends a now out-of-style choice with a contemporary favorite – and would make an unexpected route to nicknames Lou, Lulu, or Allie.
 
In 2012, actress Uma Thurman gave her daughter the middle name Altalune, though it is unknown if she was inspired by this medieval moniker. Whether she was or not, her daughter now goes by the popular Luna, as might an Altaluna born today.
