Comments for the name Runa

I love this name. It expresses strength, beauty and, most of all, wisdom. A very special name. Unfortunately, I have not yet met anyone who bears it.

In Swedish Runa is the word for a rune, a letter from the Runic alphabet.

I love the name Runa. It's a great name.

Runa is also a German and Old English name.

This name is pronounced as ROO-nah.

There's a really eerie children's book called Runa about a Swedish girl who is apparently destined to die because of her place in her family. (Thankfully, she eventually overcomes this fate and lives to see her next birthday!) However, the book really isn't very well known, and the name is quite lovely if you think about it, so I have decided that I like it!

My best friends name is Runa! When she was born her mother came across this name in a baby-book and fell in love with it. But Runa isn't a recognised name in Germany so her mother called her Deborah Runa. Everyone knows her as Runa. She is a very strong and beautiful person.
