In Japanese, Yuna is a given name, and recently a fairly popular one (a top-ten name in 2005), according to this site:

The particular writing that is popular (nearly all Japanese names have a number of possible writings in kanji) uses the following two Japanese characters:

At the same time, Yuna is a character in the video game series "Final Fantasy", as can be seen here:

It is said to mean "moon" or "night", not in ordinary Japanese, but in the Japanese dialect of Okinawa. I tried to confirm this, and I am pretty sure about "moon", but I could not really find an independent good source, just hundreds of Final Fantasy fan sites all copying from each other...
