Moneta

...As the goddess of marriage, she was called Domiduca (the woman who leads the bride to the groom's house), Pronuba (the woman who leads the bride to the wedding chamber), and as the goddess of childbirth, Lucina (the woman who brings the child out into the light). June (the month Junius, named after her, from which the English word June comes) was generally considered a good time for marriage. Her temple at the top of the northern Capitoline Hill was called Moneta (the Adviser), but later, as a coin mint was located here, her title came to mean money, and is the origin of the English word money. Her great festival was the Matronalia, which took place on March 1, the first day of the lunar calendar, when women fed the slaves and married women received gifts from married men.
