The Earth's moon is called Luna. That is where we get the terms lunar eclipse, lunar landing, etc.     ANSWER:   The name of the moon is simply Moon. As ans â¦ wered above, the word Luna is latin for the word moon. Now that we no longer, or have never spoke Latin, we call it the moon.
  The word moon is derived from a Latin word (mensis) meaning month, which is itself derived from an even older word meaning measure.. Since the word is the result of t â¦ housands of years of changes in speech patterns, it's fair to say that no single person, known or unknown, gave the moon its name.he name Luna (the moon) came from the Latin word for moon. (Luna). (Also, lune is french for moon).
