Where the name June comes from

June is the name of the sixth month, from the Latin Junius, which is probably linked to Juno, the Roman goddess of marriage and queen of the gods.

It was among the names taken from months, flowers and gems in the early 20th century, together with April and May. The month’s associations with warmth, long days and the start of summer give the name an open, sunny feel.
