Asuna
Meaning of Asuna
Asuna is a feminine Japanese name combining the elements asu (meaning “tomorrow”) and na (often translated as “greens” or “calm”), together evoking a sense of fresh beginnings. It first appeared in the US Social Security records in 2014 with just five newborns, climbed steadily to peaks of 31 in both 2019 and 2023—holding ranks around the mid-900s—and, despite a modest dip in 2024, has consistently ranked among the country’s top 1,000 girls’ names. Its clear, two-syllable structure offers standalone appeal, while its association with the popular anime character Asuna Yuuki from Sword Art Online has introduced the name to a broader Anglo-American audience. Although most American toddlers named Asuna are unlikely to wield virtual swords, the name’s blend of contemporary flair and understated warmth continues to attract parents seeking an international yet approachable choice.
