The name June comes from the name of the sixth month in the Gregorian calendar, which was originally named after Juno, the Roman goddess of marriage and childbirth, and the wife of Jupiter (king of the Roman gods). June was a top-100 girl's name every year between 1915 and 1941 before falling out of the Social Security Administration's top 1,000 by 1987. It made its return to the list in 2008 and has now been a top-200 girl's name every year since 2020. If you're a Johnny Cash fan, June was the name of his second wife, June Carter, whom he shared one son (John Carter Cash) with, born in 1970.
