It does. The moon is officially called Luna.
Also people have been known to all their cat Neko which is Japanese for cat.
Except "luna" is latin for "Moon", which means that in many neolatin languages the problem is still there. Probably Selene would be good for every language, She's the whatever goddess of the whateverness of our Moon or whatever
Except when Latin was spoken actively there was only one such body with the name “Luna”, so it’s a proper noun.
