The Ancient Romans named the months based on their mythology and words. When the months were originally named, there was 10 named months and 2 unnamed months that occurred in Winter. The year also started with "Martius" or March. Numa Pompilius was the first Roman ruler to change the calendar. He added "Januarius" or January and "Februarius" or February. The origin of the leap year also began with the month of "Intercalaris" or Intercalendar. Julius Caesar removed Intercalendar and changed the lengths of some months for his Julian calendar in 46 BC.
The origin for the actual names of the months are listed below:
- Januarius (named after the Roman god Janus who was a 2 headed god looking back to the last year and forward to the new)
- Februarius, (named after Februa, the Roman festival of purification that occurred during the month)
- Martius (named after Mars, God of War)
- Aprilis, (named after Aphrodite, goddess of beauty and love)
- Maius, (named after Maia, goddess of Spring)
- Junius, (named after Juno, goddess of marriage)
- Quintilis, (means "fifth month") CHANGED TO:
- Sextilis (means "sixth month") CHANGED TO:
- September, (means "seventh month")
- October, (means "eighth month")
- November, (means "ninth month")
- December, (means "tenth month")
