From Proto-Italic *louksnā, from Proto-Indo-European *lówksneh₂. It is unusual for a sibilant /s/ to be placed before /n/, which has led the scholar Elia Lattes to suggest Etruscan origins. The linguist Brent Vine compares it to unusual clusters in other Italic languages, such as in Oscan 𐌍𐌖𐌅𐌉𐌌𐌄 (nuvime) or 𐌂𐌀𐌔𐌍𐌀𐌓 (gasnar). Alfred Ernout suggests this may have been a unique feature of the Praenestine dialect.

This term, in the context of the inscription it was found, may reference the moon goddess Lūna.
