History & Origin
Beuna is an anglicised spelling of Buena, from the Spanish buena, 'good', related to the Latin bona. American families gave it quietly around the turn of the twentieth century, where it read as a gentle virtue name wishing goodness on a daughter.
It was never common, a couple dozen girls a year at most around the early nineteen-twenties, and it faded by mid-century. A girl given it then would be a great-grandmother now, and it reads as an old virtue name rather than a current choice.
