June, the calendar month, in the English month-name tradition.
The English given name is explicitly transferred from the month name. The month ultimately comes from Latin Iunius, associated with Juno; a deeper proposed youthful-vigor root is not treated as a settled translation of the baby name.
Origin
English given name transferred from the calendar month.
The exact entry records month-derived given-name use since the late nineteenth century. It does not imply that every person named June was born in that month. The Romanian surname on the same page has a separate history.
