| UNNA. English
and Scottish name meaning "wave," from Latin undu.
See Yonge's note below.
UNNA. Old
Norse name meaning "love" and "woman."
... The word unna,
though derived from the verb an unna, to love, has come to mean
only a woman, and as such is frequently used as a termination, as well
as now and then standing alone as a female name, Unna, of whom there are
three in the Landnama-bok, and several in the Saga of Burnt
Njal.
... Unna is said to come from
the same root as undu, the Latin wave; but the word also means
love, and thence a woman, and there is a curious similitude in it to Ainè,
the granddaughter of Lyr, in Irish legend...
... As the daughter of Davy Jones, the name would be
from the Latin, for she was the wave rising as in human shape. (History of Christian Names,
Yonge,
1884).
