Meaning

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.

English pronunciation

Received Pronunciation /d͡ʒuːn/ or /d͡ʒjuːn/; General American /d͡ʒun/

Recorded English readings for the entry explicitly including the month-transferred given name. The Romanian surname reading is a different entry and is not substituted.

Recorded English reading, as published. Accents and preferred pronunciations can differ.
