What does the name “Aluna” mean and where does it come from?
The word “Aluna” means pure thought, memory, soul, mind, imagination and comes from the creation myth of the Kogi people in Colombia who have survived to this day, keeping their traditions, relying upon and looking after their mountain environment. They believe it is their duty to look after the mountain which they call “The Heart of the World”. They call themselves the Elder Brother and refer to the newer civilisations as the Younger Brother, who they believe is destroying the balance of the world. Related links. The Kogi s Aluna emcompasses but is not solely about the Moon. We are trying to find out whether “Aluna” and the European “La Luna / Lune” are in any way linguistically connected.
