Juno

English

Etymology

From Middle English Juno, from Latin Iūnō of uncertain origin. One hypothesis is derivation from Proto-Indo-European *dyúh₃onh₂- (she of heavenly authority), from *dyew- (sky, heaven) + *-Hō (burden, authority), reflecting her role as goddess of rulers. Another is derivation from Proto-Indo-European *h₂yúh₃onh₂- (the young goddess), from *h₂eyu- (long time, lifetime) + *-Hō (burden, authority), making it cognate with Latin iuvenis (young). Both would have produced the unattested early Latin form *Iuvō, declined with the root Iūn- and eventually normalized to Iūnō.
