It's Latin designation is 'Luna'.

'Selene' in Greek.

Though, I'm uncertain if OP thought about anything other than Moon.

I think they were asking which scientist assigned those names, implying none did because all those words were assigned by ancient cultures

How did you interpret that from the meme?

Was saying the comment you replied to was in reference to the meme saying scientists named our moon, but it wasn't scientists
