About the name Júnia

Behind the Name presents Junia as the feminine form of Junius, a family name of ancient Rome, and records that the name appears in the letter to the Romans, in the New Testament. Wiktionary derives Latin Iūnius from Iūnō (Juno) plus the suffix -ius, while Behind the Name treats the link with Juno only as a possibility; for this reason, the meaning of the name is not known for certain. The name is almost always female and has the most records among people born from the 1970s to the 1990s.
