What Are The Months Of The Year Named After?

The origin of the calendar months goes back to the time of ancient Romans. The names are Latin in origin, some in honour of famous people and some according to the order in which the months occur. The last method of naming has left us with a rather curious result:
September 9th , October 10th, November 11th, and December 12th, but their names come from the Latin words meaning 7th ,8th,9th and 10th.This happened because at one time the Roman calendar had only ten months and began with March. Around 700 BC the calendar was reformed and two months added at the beginning of the year, January and February .January is named after the God Janis, who had two faces and looked two ways at once; backward at the old year and forward the new. Another god, Februs, gave us the name February .March took its name form the Mars, the God of war. April came from the Latin word aperture ,meaning  an opening ,signifying the month in which plants open and grow after winter .the origin of may and June are less certain. May was probably named after goddess Maia, whose name meant nurse or mother. July and august are named in honour of famous Roman: July for Julius and august for Augustus, the first Roman emperor.
