Best Answer

This might be the answer to your question: January is named for the Roman god Janus (Ianuarius in Latin). The origin is the Latin word "ianua" which means "door." Janus is the god of the doorway, thus January is the name of the first month, the door to the year. See: http://www.answers.com/topic/january -J
