June is English in Origin.
June is an English given name taken from the calendar month, which comes from Latin Iunius, likely honoring the Roman goddess Juno (Iuno), patron of marriage and childbirth; it also overlaps with Latin iuvenis, "youthful." As a personal name it entered regular use in the late 19th century and flourished in the early-to-mid 20th century in the United States and Britain, helped by figures like actress June Allyson and singer June Carter Cash. The name has seen a 21st-century revival as a brisk vintage choice.
Variants and related forms include Junia (the biblical Latin name), Juno, the pet form Junie, and Scandinavian Juni; Juniper is sometimes paired with it but has a separate origin. Equivalent month names such as French Juin or Italian Giugno are seldom used as given names. Unrelated but sometimes associated is Japanese Jun, a distinct etymology.
