UNA
What does UNA mean?
The Spanish feminine singular indefinite article meaning “a” or “an”; it is also the feminine form of “one.”
What does UNA mean in a crossword?
UNA commonly appears when a clue asks for “a” before a feminine Spanish noun, “one” in a Spanish-speaking place, or the opening word of a quoted Spanish title.
Why is UNA useful to learn?
Its three letters are all common in crossings, two are vowels, and elementary Spanish makes the answer accessible even when the clue uses a proper title.

Other meanings to watch
Una is also used as a personal name in English and Irish contexts. A name clue usually signals that proper-noun sense rather than the Spanish word.
