[ 1 syll. ju-ne, jun-e ] The girl name June is pronounced as JHUWN †. June's origin and use are both in the English language. Literally from the vocabulary word 'June'. The first name is derived from the name of the month; it was first used by English speakers in the early 20th century which saw a trend of using the names of months as first names. It is often given to girls born in the month of June. The name Juin, the name Junae, the name Junel, the name Junella, the name Junelle, the English and Greek Junia, the name Juniata, the name Junieta, the name Junina, the name Junine, and the name Junya are forms of the name. Another variant of June is the English pet form Junie. See also the related forms, the Spanish and English Junita and the English and German Juno. June is a classic favorite. At present it is still somewhat popular as a baby girl name, but not as much as it was before. At the peak of its usage in 1925, 0.526% of baby girls were given the name June.

June has mainly been a girl name, though in the last century it has also been used for boys. There were 67 times more girls than boys who were named June in 1939.
