No, it means the same thing as in Spanish....Moon Point. And it's not Portuguese.
Someone's either pulling your leg or has some other 'vocabulary' going on...David has the right idea. |

It is definitely spanish. We don't have these words in portuguese. ... maybe the way it pronounces it, might mean something different.... like "peruqueiro" is "hair dresser in spanish and in Porutuguese means someone or somewhere that sells wigs.... |

Sounds like "Moon Point" to me. The Babel Fish translator doesn't recognize "Punta Luna" in Portuguese; it doesn't recognize either word at all. It translates "Moon Point" into "Ponto Da Lua." In Spanish, it would be "Punto de la Luna." However, when spoken aloud, perhaps it sounds more like the Portuguese word for "whore," which in Spanish translates to "puta." |

Isso não tem no Brasil
Eu sou Brasileira e nunca ouvi falar nisso!

I don't recognize "Punta" as a Portuguese word - it is close to Ponto - meaning pip, dot, full stop, jot, matter, point, prompter, punt, speck, speckle, spot, stitch, stop, pinpoint
Also similar to Ponte - meaning causeway or bridge
The Portuguese word for 'moon' is lua.
So, I'm going to say it means nothing in Portuguese - but then it has been a while since I lived in Brazil. Perhaps it is a slang term. I'll stick with it being Spanish. |

Punta Luna is Spanish not Portuguese. So you can translate from Spanish to Portuguese as many did above.
Someone was probably pulling your leg because if you take away the "n" from Punta you will get a different word (in both Portuguese & Spanish) |
