No, not our months, but there is a calendar based on lunar months.
One year of a lunar calendar has 12 months, but it's about 11 days shorter than one year of the Gregorian calendar. A lunisolar calendar has months that are based on the cycle of the moon phases, but it also has leap years to keep the average length of a year close to the time it takes for the earth to orbit the sun. A regular year of a lunisolar calendar has 12 months, and a leap year has 13 months.
The Hebrew calendar is a lunar and solar calendar, meaning its months follow the moon's cycle around the world, whereas the secular calendar is only a solar calendar which follows the sun.

The concept of a month is actually based on the cycle of the moon's phases. A lunar month is approximately 29.5 days long, which is why many ancient calendars, like the lunar calendar, are based on the moon's phases. The length of modern calendar months varies because they are based on a combination of lunar and solar cycles.
A lunar calendar is based on the phases of the Moon and typically consists of 354 days in a year, which is 12 lunar months of 29 or 30 days each. However, to align it with the solar year, some lunar calendars, like the Islamic calendar, may add an extra month in a leap year, resulting in 13 months and around 383 days in that leap year. Generally, lunar calendars are shorter than the solar calendar, which has 365 or 366 days.
