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