- Junius Meaning
- Roman family name which was possibly derived from the name of the Roman goddess Juno. It was borne by Lucius Junius Brutus, the founder of the Roman Republic in the 6th century Bc. It was also borne by the 1st-century Bc Roman politician Marcus Junius Brutus, commonly known as Brutus, who was one of the assassins of Julius Caesar. Junius is derived from Juno. Juno originates in Latin language and means "young woman". In Roman mythology, Juno was the goddess of marriage and the queen of all gods. Her father was Saturn, her brother Jupiter and she was the mother of Mars and Vulcan. Hera would be her Greek equivalent. As a feminine given name, Juno is very rare in the United States, despite having been popularized by the 2007 Academy Award winning comedy-drama of the same name.
