February is named after the Roman god Februus, who was associated with purification and the rites of purification known as Februa. This connection reflects the month's role in marking a time for cleansing and renewal, particularly as it falls at the end of winter. Additionally, the month is linked to various festivals in ancient Rome that celebrated fertility and spring's arrival.
