A name that means "the month of june; young".

June is named for the Roman goddess Juno — patron of marriage, women, and Rome. The month was named for her, and the name was used directly.

June peaked in the U.S. at #39 in 1925. After a long quiet, it is returning fast — currently in the U.S. top 200.

Where June stands.

June does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
