About June
June, a sweetly old-fashioned month name derived from the goddess Juno, was long locked in a time capsule with June Allyson (born Ella) and June Cleaver, but is rising again especially as a middle name.
June was a Top 100 name from 1915 to 1941, peaking in 1925 at Number 39. It fell off the U.S. Top 1000 in 1987 and returned in 2008 after a two-decade hiatus. Now, we'd call it one of the vintage girls' names starting with J due for a comeback. Balthazar Getty has a daughter named June and Amanda Peet used it as her daughter Molly's middle name.
Juni is the Scandinavian version; other related choices are Junia, Juno, Juna and Djuna.
Pronounced JOON.
As of October 2026, June ranked #150 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #39 in 1925, Nameberry popularity #196.
