Lunar means beauty mark, or mole on the skin.

The word has a romantic overtone to it in Spanish. One of the songs in Spanish that most people know in English (Ay, ay, ay-ay Canta y no Llores) "Cielito Lindo" (by Quirino Mendoza y Cortés) is a old romantic folk song. It has the lyric "Ese lunar que tienes, cielito lindo, junto a la boca, no se lo besa nadie, cielito lindo que a mi me toca"

Literally translated its kind of funny in English since the meaning and romanticism is totally lost. "That mole you have, pretty little sky, next to the mouth, no one will kiss it, pretty little sky, because it's my turn." It more closely translates to "That beauty mark you have, pretty darling, next to your mouth,

don't give it to anyone, Pretty darling, it belongs to me."
