ArchivesRe: my name
in reply to a message by Monetta Novak
Latin, not Greek, to my knowledge.
Juno was the wife of Jupiter, king of the gods, in Roman mythology, and one of her jobs was to give advice and warnings ... there was a temple in Rome dedicated to her and called the temple of Juno Moneta; our word "admonish" is related to it. And the cellars of that temple were used for storing the coins and bullion used to pay the army - which is where our word "money" comes from.
It's undoubtedly got nothing to do with your name, apart from being an interesting coincidence.
All the best
