"Rumia" (ルーミア), possibly meant to be romanized as "Lumia", seems to come from the Latin word ''lumen'' ("light") or its English descendants (''luminous'', ''luminescent''). Supporting this possible origin is the subject matter of her first spell card, ''Moon Sign "Moonlight Ray"''. If "Lumia" is indeed the intended romanization of her name, then it may be that her ability to manipulate and create darkness works by absorbing light. ZUN, however, has used "Rumia" in a [http://web.archive.org/web/20040404190222/www16.big.or.jp/~zun/cgi-bin/diary/nicky.cgi?page=1 2004 diary post], and even supervised [https://web.archive.org/web/20100315044145/http://www.comptiq.com/release/comic/55touhou_owabi.html an official correction] from "Lumia" to "Rumia" (although he also used the rather erroneous "Flandre" in the same instances). "Rumia" was also used on her [[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]] portrait.
