"Juun" is local dialect for the Dutch word "ui", meaning "onion".
Of course good software is build up in layers, like an onion.
An onion is also a vegetable that is grown locally, just like I'm a local developer.
The name in dialect makes it extra local.
So, like an onion, the name has multiple layers of meaning (which is kind of a recursive meaning I guess)

Also, it's VERY hard to find a name that isn't taken and "Juun" did not exist in the CoC register (not even as a name)
All my friends that come from the island think the name is pretty funny, other people ask me what "Juun" is
All in all I'm quite happy with the name, it even works pretty well in English (who probably pronounce it a June or some such, giving it a summer vibe)

Yeah, I would never have guessed the meaning of your company's name in a million years.

So remember that name, Juun Software.
You'll be seeing it next to Microsoft, Apple, and Google in a couple of years
