Yuna by the numbers

In 2025, 37 babies in England and Wales were named Yuna. In the US, 153 were, though that figure is from 2017, the most recent full year we hold.

It is used at about the same rate on both sides of the Atlantic.

Its best year in America so far is the most recent one on record, which means it was still climbing when the records end.

What we can tell you about Yuna

Not every name has a meaning to trace. Plenty are coined rather than inherited — invented outright, blended from two names, or respelled from an older one — and where we cannot find an etymology we can stand behind, we would rather say so than make one up. What follows comes from the birth records themselves.
