What is the meaning of the name Juna ?

The baby name Juna is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈdʒuːnə/ (JOO-nə),/ˈjuːnə/ (YOO-nə) — alternate/pronunciation in some languages.

Juna is Arabic, English, Japanese, Korean, Latin in Origin.

Juna is a cross-cultural given name with several sources. In European use it most often shortens Latin Junia or echoes Juno, the Roman goddess, and by extension the month name June; it therefore suggests youth and protective, queenly overtones. In Japanese, Juna (じゅな) is a feminine name whose meaning depends on the kanji chosen (for example, “pearl,” “tree,” or “greens”). In Indonesia it also appears as a masculine nickname for Arjuna or Junaidi.

The name was rare in records but has risen since the late 20th century in German-, Dutch-, and Scandinavian-speaking countries as a sleek modern pick; English-speaking parents use it as a fresh alternative to June or Juno. Variants and related forms include Junia, June, Juno, Juni, and the literary spelling Djuna (cf. writer Djuna Barnes). Common short forms are Ju and Juni. Predominantly feminine in Europe, Juna is effectively unisex worldwide.
