Their nationality is Danish

Despite the fact that the band is Italian, the name Mneskin is Danish. The name is translated as «moonlight» in English. When Ethan, Victoria, Damiano, and Thomas were registering for the local music competition Pulse, they had to choose a name.

Victoria is half-Danish, and she assisted in the creation of the name when the group believed a Danish word may work.
