A female given name transferred from the month name [in turn from English], for a girl born in June, used since the end of the 19th century.

Her parents were old, really old. That's why they'd given her such an old-fashioned name. June, because she was born in June. If she'd been born in November would they have called her November? June was a name for women in sitcoms and soap operas, the name of women who knit with synthetic wool and follow recipes that use cornflakes, not the name of a thirty-year-old with a ring in her nose ('Oh, June'.)

A male given name, or more often nickname, for a boy who is junior to someone else, especially someone with the same name, such as his father.
