- Juno
- Roman goddess of adult women and marriage, sister and wife of Jupiter, mid-14c., perhaps literally "the young one" (if so, perhaps as goddess of the new moon), from an Italic root akin to Latin iunior "younger," iuvenis "young" (see young). Noted for her stately beauty and fits of jealous rage. Also the patron of national finances. Usually identified with Greek Hera, but Juno also had qualities of Athena.
