Junius
About Junius
Junius is one of those names that's growing on us, along with many of its Roman countrymen such as Julius and Atticus. We once thought it was a combination of the least attractive elements of Junior and Julius but now we think...well, we think it's okay. Not great, but okay.
Pronounced JOO-nee-us.
As of October 2026, Junius ranked #7408 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #336 in 1891.
