June was known as Lunius or Junius in ancient Rome because it was named after Juno, the goddess of marriage, or the Latin iuniores meaning “youth.” The ancient festivals celebrated in the month of June included the Vestalia (in honor of the goddess of the heart Vesta for re-purifying Rome), Rosalia (festival of roses), and the summer solstice, which is the first day of summer.
