Orbit

Orbit (오빛) is LOONA’s official fandom name. It was officially established on July 9, 2018 after the first recruitment closed.

Meaning

According to a news article, Orbit means that the fan club is creating a path of orbit where LOONA can grow. Also, 오 is read as "oh" and 빛 as "bit" which translated to English is "light", and together makes "Oh! Light" where oh is the exclamation and light representing what LOONA is to fans.

Korean orbits are named Hanbits (한빛) and international orbits Wuebits (외빛). "Wue" (외) stands for foreign and "Han" (한) for Korean.
