The feminine name June is taken from the name of the month, which was originally taken from the Roman goddess Juno. The meaning of the female name Juno is unknown but could be related to the Indo-European root that means “youth”. However, others believe that it might have an Etruscan origin. The name June has been used since the 19th century as a given name.
