The name "Fauna" is a feminine form of Latin "Faunus", the deity of the countryside. "Faunus" itself is generally thought to stem from Proto-Italic "*fawe" or "*fawono", ultimately from Proto-Indo-European "*bʰh₂u-n" ('favourable'). Consequently, Georges Dumézil translated her name as "the Favourable."
