=== Etymology ===
''June'' is ultimately derived from the Latin month of ''[[Iunius (month)|Iunius]]'', named after the  ancient Roman goddess [[Juno (mythology)|Juno]] (Latin: {{lang|la|Iūnō}}). The present English spelling was influenced by the [[Anglo-Norman language|Anglo-Norman]] ''join'', ''junye'' and ''junie''. It was also written in [[Middle English]] as ''Iun'' and ''Juin'', while the spelling variant ''Iune'' was in use until the 17th century. It displaced the [[Old English]] name for June, ''[[Ǣrra Līða|ærra liþa]]''.<ref>{{cite dictionary|chapter=June, n.|date=September 2023|dictionary=[[Oxford English Dictionary]]|publisher=[[Oxford University Press]]|doi=10.1093/OED/4206893514}}</ref><ref>{{cite dictionary|last=Douglas|first=Harper|date=28 September 2017|title=June|url=https://www.etymonline.com/word/June|dictionary=[[Online Etymology Dictionary]]|access-date=12 March 2024}}</ref>
