The name “Los Lunas” is a shortened form of the Spanish phrase Los Luna, meaning “The Lunas.” It refers to the Luna family, one of the early and prominent Spanish colonial families in New Mexico. Over time, the pluralized name became commonly used to refer to the area where the family settled.
In Spanish, “Luna” means “moon.” However, in this context, it is a surname, not a celestial reference. The “s” at the end of “Lunas” makes it plural, indicating multiple members of the Luna family. The word “Los” means “the” in masculine plural form, so together, “Los Lunas” translates to “The Lunas” or “The Luna family.”
