Fortuna First Name Meaning

Fortuna is a female name of Spanish origin that means "Good Fortune." It is derived from the Latin word Fortūna, which is equivalent to the Greek goddess Tyche. In Roman religion, Fortuna was the goddess of fortune and the personification of luck. She was often depicted as blindfolded and holding a ship's rudder, a ball or wheel of fortune, and a horn of plenty. Fortuna could bring both good and bad luck, representing life's capriciousness and also being a goddess of fate. Her cult was widespread in the Roman world, and her influence extended into medieval and Renaissance literature and culture. In astrology, the term Pars Fortuna represents a beneficial point in the horoscopic chart. The name Fortuna embodies the concept of luck, fate, and the capricious nature of life.
