Junius is Latin in Origin.
Junius is a Latin nomen of the ancient Roman gens Junia (Iunius), probably linked to the goddess Juno and, by extension, to the month of June. As a given name it conveys senses such as "belonging to Juno" or, by folk association, "born in June."
Borne in antiquity by statesmen like Marcus Junius Brutus and the satirist Decimus Junius Juvenalis, the name re-entered English use during the Renaissance and grew in 18th-19th-century popularity, aided by the widely read Letters of Junius. Notable bearers include actor Junius Brutus Booth and financier Junius Spencer Morgan. Variants and related forms include the classical Iunius, the feminine Junia, the Americanized spelling Junious, and occasional Romance adaptations like Junio or Giunio; nicknames Junie and June appear in informal use. Though uncommon today, Junius offers a dignified, antiquarian style.
