    Except “luna” is latin for “Moon”, which means that in many neolatin languages the problem is still there. Probably Selene would be good for every language, She’s the whatever goddess of the whateverness of our Moon or whatever

      Except when Latin was spoken actively there was only one such body with the name “Luna”, so it’s a proper noun.
