Juno is a boy's name of Latin origin. Traditionally known as the Roman goddess of marriage and childbirth, Juno has crossed gender boundaries to become a distinctive masculine choice. The name carries associations with protection, vitality, and leadership. While relatively uncommon for boys, it has a strong, concise sound with its two syllables ending in a resonant 'o' that feels both classical and contemporary. Juno has gained some visibility through cultural references, including the popular film 'Juno,' though that featured a female protagonist. As parents seek unique names with historical roots, Juno offers boys a name with gravitas and a touch of mythology.

Juno is an ancient name that feels as fresh as if it had been minted, well, not yesterday, but in 2007. Since the release of the popular indie film Juno, this lively but strong Roman goddess name has held new potential as a baby name. Currently in the UK Top 500 and used in The Netherlands too, Juno is on the rise in the US - and is 15 times more popular than it was before the release of the film.
 
In Roman mythology, Juno was the sister and wife of Jupiter (yes, you did read that right) and the mother of Mars and Vulcan. The patron goddess of Rome and protector of women and marriage and the goddess of finance, Juno's name is heard in Virgil's Aeneid, Shakespeare's The Tempest, and Sean O'Casey's 1924 play Juno and the Paycock. The deity's name is of uncertain origin, but likely derives from the root -iuwen, meaning young. With Jupiter and Minerva, she made the Capitoline triad, whose worship was at the very center of Roman religion.
 
With its strong but sweet sound, reminiscent of vintage June and contemporary Juniper, with its appealing but rare-for-girls -O ending, it is unsurprising perhaps that Juno is a Nameberry favorite and on the rise in the "real world". Given to around 170 girls in 2023 - and to nearly 50 boys, it joins Artemis as a traditionally feminine goddess name that is becoming a unisex option. 
 
Actress Juno Temple and writer Juno Dawson are notable bearers of the name, while Coldplay's Will Champion chose Juno for one of his twins (whose brother is the kingly Rex).
