June

Meaning

June comes into English from the name of the Roman month Iunius. Traditionally, that month’s name is connected with Juno, the Roman goddess, so the name carries a classical, seasonal feel rather than a personal-name meaning from the excerpts themselves. In modern use it suggests early summer, brightness, and freshness.

Origin

Fun fact

It became a familiar given name in English partly because month names were sometimes adopted as personal names.
