Origin and meaning of Yu-na
Yu-na (유나) joins 柔 (yu), 'soft, gentle', with 娜 (na), 'graceful, elegant', for a meaning of 'gentle and graceful'; the pairing with 裕 (yu), 'abundance', is also common, shifting the sense toward 'prosperity and grace'. The meaning depends on the hanja parents choose. It is known internationally thanks to Kim Yu-na, Olympic champion figure skater, who turned the name into a symbol of elegance and athletic success well beyond South Korea.
