Detailed Slovak etymology analysis
Pôvod rodného mena Zuna nie je v overených podkladoch jednoznačne doložený. V slovenskej literatúre ho poznáme z Nevesty hôľ Františka Švantnera. Onomastik Pavol Odaloš spája meno tejto postavy so slovenským slovesom zunieť, teda jasne znieť, zvučať či zaznievať. Ide o výklad literárneho mena, ktorý nemožno automaticky zovšeobecniť na každú nositeľku.
