How to Say "Juno" in Japanese

ジュノー

Junō

ジュノー (Junō) is the Japanese way to say the name of the Roman goddess Juno.

The name Juno is written using Katakana because it is a foreign name.

Meaning: Roman goddess (name)

How do you pronounce it?

Junō

While ジュノー refers to the goddess, Japanese speakers use the word 六月 for the month of June, which literally means 'sixth month' rather than deriving from the name Juno.
The spelling ジュノー is derived specifically from the English way of pronouncing the name, 'Juneau', rather than a direct phonetic transliteration from Latin.
In Japanese pop culture and anime, names like ジュノー are often given to characters to evoke an image of royalty or divine authority due to the association with Roman mythology.

ジュノーはローマ神話の女神です。
Junō wa rōma shinwa no megami desu.
Juno is a Roman goddess.
ジュノーの神殿は見事でした。
Junō no shinden wa migoto deshita.
The temple of Juno was magnificent.
