Juni

Girl name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Juni: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 2025.

Juni is a name with Scandinavian roots, where it directly means "June" and is used as a month name in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark. It can also function as a short form of Junia, a Latin name meaning "youthful" and borne by a woman mentioned in the New Testament. While no globally famous bearer immediately comes to mind, the name has gained quiet popularity in modern Scotland as a fresh, unisex choice, often chosen for its sunny, month-of-summer association. Place connections are indirect: the town of Jönköping in Sweden shares the same Old Norse root for a river, but is not directly named after the name. Notably, Juni can be considered a sibling to the more common June, offering a slightly more distinctive and international feel for parents seeking a nature-linked or calendar name.
