Can't see the etymological connection between Hera and Juno though. I rather agree with ancient Frazer that Juno [j=d/j] equals Dione;

and i agree with this author:

"Etymology: DIONE was the goddess of the oracle of Dodona in Thesprotia, and the mother of Aphrodite by Zeus. Her name is simply the feminine form of Zeus (Dios) (DIONE)."
