ユノについて英語版wikipediaを調べてみたが、誰か翻訳してくれ
There is a strong possible etymology for Juno in the Indo-European root *yeu-, "vital force", which has such
derivatives as the English youth. Although such a derivation could possibly be consistent with an origin as
a mother goddess, it is more likely that the root *yeu- is used in the same sense as other Latin words
derived from it, such as iuvenis ("young man", with derivatives such as juvenile and rejuvenate), which
would imply that Juno's nature prior to the syncretism of Greek and Roman mythology was more akin to
Diana's, as a maiden goddess of birth or midwifery. However, the Roman absorption of Greek myth replaced
earlier characteristics of Juno with those of Hera, extending her domain from birth to marriage and
promoting her to the role of Jupiter's wife and the queen of the gods. She could also throw lightning bolts
like Jupiter.
More immediately, Juno's Etruscan equivalent was Uni. It is likely that one of these goddesses inspired the
other, but whether Juno comes from Uni, or vice versa, remains disputed. Although there is currently more
support for the theory that Uni is derived from Juno,[citation needed] if instead Juno's name is of Etruscan
origin, it cannot have an Indo-European link to *yeu-, and its root meaning will remain ambiguous. There is
some support for the theory of Uni being the original; Livy states (Book V, Ab Urbe Condita ) that Juno was
an Etruscan goddess from Veii, who was ceremonially adopted into the Roman pantheon when Veii was
sacked in 396BC.
