An uncommon Irish pick — distinctive and rare.
A female given name from Irish.
Una is a girl's baby name of Irish origin, possibly derived from the Irish uan meaning 'lamb' or from the Latin una meaning 'one.' In Edmund Spenser's epic poem The Faerie Queene (1590), Una is the embodiment of truth and the one true church — a name of pure, allegorical beauty.
With over 8,000 U.S. births, Una has a classical simplicity that speaks across centuries.
Una climbed 2951 spots in the last 20 years — from #5956 to #3005.
