What Month is June?

June is the sixth month of the year

June, abbreviated as Jun, is the 6th month of the Gregorian calendar, coming after May and before July.

June gets its name from Juno, the ancient Roman goddess of marriage, childbirth, and family. Juno was considered the protector of women and the Roman state, and the month Junius was dedicated to her in honor of these roles.

Because of Juno's association with marriage and fertility, June became a popular month for weddings, a tradition that continues in many cultures today. The name has remained largely unchanged as it passed from Latin into modern languages as June.
