Junilla is in Origin.

Junilla is a rare Latin feminine name built on the -illa diminutive, most naturally interpreted as a pet form of Junia (the feminine of the Roman family name Junius) and thus ultimately tied to the goddess Juno. The underlying root is debated: some derive it from Iuno, others from the Italic base related to Latin iuvenis, meaning young, yielding senses such as little Junia, devoted to Juno, or youthful. In classical orthography it appears as Iunilla; the month name June (Iunius) is a cognate reference rather than a direct source.

Attested sporadically in Late Antique inscriptions and on Roman-era cognomina, Junilla never became common and largely vanished after antiquity. Modern use is extremely uncommon but appeals to lovers of classical rarities. Close variants and related names include Iunilla, Junia, Juno, and June; possible nicknames are Juni and Juna.
