Juris Alunāns (official name Gustavs Georgs Frīdrihs Alunāns;[2] May 13, 1832 – April 18, 1864) was a Latvian writer and philologist in the Russian Empire. He was one of the first contributors of the Latvian language. He was one of the members of the Young Latvia movement.[3][4]

Alunāns created about 500 neologisms, most of which were quickly incorporated in the everyday Latvian language and are still being used.
