=== Name and symbol ===

Juno is named after the mythological [[Juno (mythology)|Juno]], the highest Roman goddess. The adjectival form is Junonian (from Latin ''jūnōnius''), with the historical final ''n'' of the name (still seen in the French form, ''Junon'') reappearing, analogous to Pluto ~ Plutonian.<ref name=OED/>
'Juno' is the international name for the asteroid, subject to local variation: Italian ''Giunone'', French ''Junon'', Russian ''Юнона'' (''Yunona''), etc.{{#tag:ref|There are two exceptions: Greek, where the name was translated to its Hellenic equivalent, [[Hera]] (3 Ήρα), as in the cases of [[1 Ceres]] and [[4 Vesta]]; and Chinese, where it is called the 'marriage-god(dess) star' (婚神星 ''hūnshénxīng''). This contrasts with the goddess Juno, for which Chinese uses the transliterated Latin name (朱諾 ''zhūnuò'').|group=lower-alpha}}

The old [[astronomical symbol]] of Juno, still used in astrology, is a scepter topped by a star, {{angbr|[[File:Juno symbol (fixed width).svg|16px|⚵]]}}. There were many graphic variants with a more elaborated scepter, such as [[file:Juno orb symbol (fixed width).svg|16px|orbed symbol of Juno]], sometimes tilted at an angle to provide more room for decoration.
The generic asteroid symbol of a disk with its discovery number, {{angbr|③}}, was introduced in 1852 and quickly became the norm.<ref name="Forbes1971">{{cite journal |last=Forbes |first=Eric G. |title=Gauss and the Discovery of Ceres |journal=Journal for the History of Astronomy |volume=2 |issue=3 |pages=195–199 |year=1971 |bibcode=1971JHA.....2..195F |doi=10.1177/002182867100200305 |s2cid=125888612 |url=http://adsabs.harvard.edu/full/1971JHA.....2..195F |access-date=18 July 2021 |archive-date=18 July 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210718200510/http://adsabs.harvard.edu/full/1971JHA.....2..195F |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite journal |last=Gould |first=B.
