Meaning and origin
From Middle English June, june, re-Latinised variants of earlier Middle English Juyn, juyng, from Old French juing, juin, from Latin iūnius, the month of the goddess Iuno (“Juno”), perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *h₂yéwHō, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂óyu (“vital force, youthful vigor”). ==== Alternative forms ==== Jun, Jun., JUN (abbreviation) ==== Proper noun ==== June (plural Junes) The sixth month of the Gregorian calendar, following May and preceding July, containing the northern solstice.
- A female given name transferred from the month name [in turn from English], often for a girl born in June, used since the end of the 19th century.
