Juventas
This is the name of Hebe used in the Roman Empire (presumably rooted in Latin like this) and someone entered on the Wikipedia entry for the goddess "Juventas likewise means "youth", as can be seen in such derivatives as juvenile.".

This could of course be a mistake, yet it is an idea to explore. There is a similarity between Juventas/Juvenile yet so to can one see the similarity between Juventas/iuvenis which is listed as the etymological precede on the page at the moment. I don't feel comfortable altering (even if only to add) any information until sorting this out. Is it possible that iuvenis is the precede to Juventas as well? Currently, unlike Hebe, there is no etymological information for Juventas, so this would help to flesh that out. In which case, rather than saying it was an ancestor I would simply list Juventas here as a related name. There's no reason to label it here as derived from it until there's clear evidence.
