June is thought to be a contraction of Iunonius meaning "sacred to Juno". Juno is the Roman Goddess of adult women, marriage, and childbirth. Juno possibly means "the young one" as it is from the Proto-Italic *juwen meaning "young". She was noted for her beauty and fits of jealous rage.
For me, the name is the childhood summers, bright and happy. It's early mornings by the stream, bare feet on dewy grass, sunshine filling the trees. It is carefree and limitless. June is also the month I was born in!
