A name that means "queen of the heavens".

Juno is the queen of the Roman gods — wife of Jupiter, goddess of marriage, women, and childbirth. The Romans dedicated the month of June to her (the most popular month for weddings). The etymology likely traces to the Proto-Indo-European *yew- (vital force, vigour).

Juno entered the U.S. top 1000 in 2011 — boosted by the 2007 film Juno, starring Elliot Page as a teenage girl named Juno. Today it sits in the U.S. top 350 and is climbing fast.

Queen of the heavens. The Roman goddess of marriage and birth.
