Junia
Junia, or Iunia, is a young Roman woman appearing in Lovers in the Pax Romana. She is a daughter of a wealthy family in Pompeii, Ancient Rome, and twin sister of Cornelia. The name Junia is most likely derived from Juno, the Roman equivalent to the Greek goddess Hera who presided over marriage & childbirth (a fitting name for someone who plays matchmaker for Cornelia and Marius.)
Latin at the time of Pompeii did not have the letters J or U, so the original Roman spelling of the name would have been IVNIA. Modern rendering of Latin universally uses U where appropriate, but is divided on whether or not to use J, so the spelling Iunia is also correct and valid.
When Junia met Kyubey and made a contract, she gained the ability to transform into other people and was set back into the past. Because of this, she assumed the identity of Amaryllis.
Junia is the name of a major Roman patrician family (essentially, Roman nobility). The meaning is uncertain, but is most likely derived from the goddess Juno, who also gave her name to the month of June. Some proposed meanings include "youth" or "love", but the true origin is unknown.
Marius
Marius is Cornelia's fiance in Lovers in the Pax Romana.
Marius is a Roman family name of uncertain origin. Most likely it is either derived from Mars or from a Latin root "maris", meaning "male". The Maria family was a plebeian family in ancient Rome (essentially, commoners).
Masatsuna Mizuna
Masatsuna Mizuna (水名 正綱 Mizuna Masatsuna) is Tsuyu Mizuna's father. Feuded with the East (particularly, the Tai Party clan) and even though Tsuyu persuaded him to make peace, he was murdered by San'emon Banshu when he betrayed and ambushed him during a peace talk.
The kanji of his last name mean "water" (水) and "name" (名) respectively. It is the same spelling as used by the Mizuna Ward. The kanji in his first name mean "correct" (正) and "guiding principle" (綱).

Gaius Plinius Secundus

Feuded with the West (particularly, the Mizuna) and when Chizuru and Tsuyu attempted to have their families make peace by having their fathers discuss a peace treaty, San'emon instead allied with another country and led a massive ambush at the treaty, resulting in Chizuru disowning him.
The kanji in his surname mean "Ten thousand" (万) and "protect" (守). The first kanji in his given name means "mountain" (山), while the remaining three put together are (based on the reading) a clipping of 右衛門府, meaning "junior gate guard".
