lunar
The moon is a satellite. Meaning it orbits another planet.
"The Moon" got this name because it was the only one, like "the Sun" and "the Earth". We never knew that there were others, so we didn't bother to come up with proper names for them. Once we knew that there were other things like them existed, then we came up with unique names for them. Like Jupiter's moons, Europa, Io, Ganymede and Callisto. If I could name the Moon (something other than "The Moon") I'd probably name it something like "Liberty" or "Freedom". But that's just me.
The name of the Earths moon is, Moon. A name was not given to the moon at the time it was discovered because no one knew that there were other moons.
The moon has a name. It is Luna, from the Latin for moon.
