Luna is not it’s official name.
Comment on We should name the moon. Most people don't call their pets "dog" or "cat".
Siegfried@lemmy.world 5 months agoThis is getting out of hand, but the official designation is… you know… the official designation. And for the number, you only have to add up spanish, French, Portuguese, Italian, rumanian and Russian speakers… there are other countries but you get the idea

In French and Italian it’s the same as in English, I would say que Jupiter a 95 lunes, a moon is the colloquial word for a natural satellite. Luna isn’t some pretty personal name, it’s exactly equivalent to “moon” but I’m a different language, but it sounds exotic and like a personal name to English speakers.
