Cupressaceae is the name of the family to which the juniper tree belongs.

Specifically, the juniper tree carries the genus name Juniperus. The genus is one of those subsumed by the cypress family. The family name originates in the combination of the Latin noun cupressus ("cypress") and the Latin ending -aceae ("belonging to [the family]).

What trees are similar to cedar trees?

Being that what is widely known as Cedar is actually a member of the Juniper family, this is a broad question. If what you are looking for is more of a tree type, Cedar, you can look for Port Orford Cedar, Alaskan Yellow Cedar, Western Red Cedar, etc. But know that these are not true Cedars. They are members of the Juniper family. If you are looking for true cedars, try looking for Deodar or Lebanon Cedar. These are true Cedars. One of the characteristic differences between the Juniper "Cedars" and true Cedars are the leaves. Junipers have small over-lapping scales in place of the needle clumps similar to those of the Western Larch. Note that, unlike Larches, true Cedars are not deciduous.
