  • In Swedish, Juno är namnet på en romersk gudinna som råder över äktenskap och barnafödsel, motsvarande grekiskans Hera. Betydelsen är oklar men namnet kan hänga ihop med latinets iuvenis ’ung’. Det har blivit ett populärt småbarnsnamn de senaste åren. Juno användes i Sverige under 1800-talet som både kvinno- och mansnamn. Som mansnamn kan det också vara en finsk form av → Jon.

About this data

measured from records inferred from the name graph machine-generated

These figures come from the data snapshot of and will change as it is rebuilt.

Statistics are aggregated from the Mondonomo name corpus; related names and etymology are inferred from the name graph; pronunciation and any machine-marked transliterations are model-generated. Read how the numbers are made, including their known failure modes, and where the data comes from.

Reference works we consult — surname dictionaries, official name registers, Wikidata and Wiktionary — are named directly, beside the claims they support. The per-country source counts also include datasets of person records: we publish how many there are and their authority tier, but not their names.
