History & Origin
Lajune combines the La- prefix, common in mid-century American coinages, with June - itself from the Roman goddess Juno, protector of women and marriage. The result is a distinctly American blend rather than an inherited European name.
It was always rare, given to about eighteen girls a year even at its peak around 1963, and had faded from records by 1980. A woman named Lajune then would be in her sixties today.
