The meaning of Juno in Greek is "Queen of Heaven". Juno was also a Roman goddess in the Roman mythology. Juno has the same meaning as the Greek goddess called 'Hera'. She was the wife of the Roman god Jupiter (Jupiter was the God of Gods). Jupiter is the Roman equivalent of the Greek god 'Zeus'. Juno was also the mother of Mars. The month of June has also got its name from Juno.
On the 1st of March, every year the women attend a festival called 'Matronalia'. This festival is held in honor and respect of Juno.
