English / Latin roots
June takes its name from the Roman goddess Juno, protector of women and marriage — which is why June became the most popular month for weddings. The name has been used as a given name since the 19th century. June Carter Cash (1929–2003) was a singer, songwriter, and member of the legendary Carter Family who married Johnny Cash. June Cleaver from Leave It to Beaver (1957–1963) became the archetypal TV mother. The Handmaid's Tale protagonist is named June Osborne. The name has been climbing back toward the top 200 as part of the vintage-month-name revival.
