Etymology

潤 combines 氵 (water) with 閏, which likely contributes the sound and the idea of surplus or intercalation, suggesting water that enriches or moistens.

Meaning mnemonic

Water 氵 flows into the intercalary month 閏, soaking the calendar and bringing extra benefits and charm.

Reading mnemonic

For ジュン, imagine a June rain that wets everything and brings profit to the crops: June -> ジュン.
