Our generated misspelling index lists 5 likely wrong-spelling variants for Juno, with forms such as "jjuno", "jnuo", and "junno".

It also participates in 20 confusable-pair relationships, "jus", "just", "jury", and more, since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.
Etymologically, the entry records: From Middle English Juno, from Latin Iūnō of uncertain origin. One hypothesis is derivation from Proto-Indo-European *dyúh₃onh₂- (“she of heavenly authority”), from *dyew- (“sky, heaven”) + *-Hō (“burden, authority”), reflecting her role as goddess of ruler… The correct English form is Juno, spelled J-U-N-O.

Recorded use
Wiktionary exampleThese source excerpts show how Juno appears in context. They illustrate usage; the definition above remains the entry’s reference meaning.
But after a few visits to share details about ultrasounds and such, Juno and Mark find they have similar interests in music and movies - and Juno does have extraordinary tastes for someone her age, from the songs of Iggy and the Stooges to the horror flicks of Dario Argento.
Etymology
From Middle English Juno, from Latin Iūnō of uncertain origin. One hypothesis is derivation from Proto-Indo-European *dyúh₃onh₂- (“she of heavenly authority”), from *dyew- (“sky, heaven”) + *-Hō (“burden, authority”), reflecting her role as goddess of rulers. Another is derivation from Proto-Indo-European *h₂yúh₃onh₂- (“the young goddess”), from *h₂eyu- (“long time, lifetime”) + *-Hō (“burden, authority”), making it cognate with Latin iuvenis (“young”). Both would have produced the unattested early Latin form *Iuvō, declined with the root Iūn- and eventually normalized to Iūnō.
