The Julian Calender (which became the Christian Calender with only a few holidays retained) is a solar calender, based on earth's orbit of the sun. Previously the Romans used a lunar calender like the Chinese, based on the moon's orbit of the earth. The solar calender was more efficient, and Julius Caeser was a man who liked efficiency, so he pushed for adoption of the calender which bears his name.
The name of Caesar's calendar was the Julian calendar. It was replaced in 1582 by the Gregorian calendar, which we used today.
The months of the Julian calendar are the months we use today. We use the Gregorian calendar, which is a slightly modified version of the Julian calendar. The month July is named after Julius Caesar. August is named after Augustus.
