解説 Definition

覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
月名なので通常は June と大文字で書き、前置詞は in June、「6月末」は in late June とする。ローマ神話の女神 Juno に結びつくラテン語 Junius に由来するとされ、結婚を守る女神と6月の結婚式を関連づけると記憶しやすい。Mayの次、Julyの前という暦上の位置も一緒に固定する。
Remember June by placing it firmly between May and July: it is month six. English month names are proper nouns, so always write June with a capital J. Use in for events within the month, as in “My birthday is in June,” and add early, mid-, or late for a more precise period. The traditional connection with Juno, the Roman goddess associated with marriage, can help you remember why June is often mentioned as a popular wedding month. Keep June separate from July by linking six letters? Instead, rely on calendar order and the Juno connection.

june の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ローマの女神ユーノー（Juno）に由来するラテン語Juniusから。ユーノーは結婚と出産の守護女神で、主神ユピテルの妻。6月が「ジューンブライド」と結びつくのはこの女神に由来する。関連語：Juno（小惑星名にも使用）。古代ローマの暦制度が現代の月名に残る好例。
June comes through Old French and Old English forms from Latin Junius, the Roman name for the month. Junius is traditionally associated with Juno, a major Roman goddess connected with marriage and women, although ancient explanations of the month’s name were not entirely uniform. The Latin calendar name survived through later European calendar traditions and became modern English June. Its association with weddings is reinforced by Juno’s traditional role as a guardian of marriage.
