The Earth's moon is called Luna. That is where we get the terms "lunar eclipse", "lunar landing", etc.
The name of the moon is simply "Moon". As answered above, the word Luna is latin for the word moon. Now that we no longer, or have never spoke Latin, we call it the moon. Other planet's moons are given names to distinguish them from our own and are still called moons, just not "the" moon. See the related link for more information.
