During its introduction, the Junior was launched as the Alfa Romeo Milano. Following a complaint from the Italian government that claimed it is illegal to sell "Italian-sounding" products that were not produced in Italy, Alfa Romeo renamed the vehicle to Junior. The nameplate was previously used by the brand as a trim level of the 105- and 115-series Giulia coupes in the 1960s. The previous name, Milano was the US-market name for the Alfa Romeo 75 saloon, and a reference to Alfa Romeo's hometown, Milan.
