The Greek word for "moon" is men (or mene if you want to make it feminine). The same word was used for a (lunar) month. The Greeks also called the moon Selene, the name of the Greek goddess of the moon.
Luna was the equivalent Roman goddess, and that's used in words like "lunar". However, the proper term for mapping the Moon is "selenography", deriving from the Greek name. (Similarly, mapping Mars is "areography", from Ares.)
