Kislev is the 9th Month on the Hebrew Calendar, but its name has no Hebrew meaning other than the name of the month. The word was probably borrowed from another language, probably Akkadian.

The third month if you start counting from Nissan is Sivan, which occurs around May-June.

Hanukkah is celebrated during the Hebrew months of Kislev (starting on the 25th day of the month) and Tevet (it ends on the 2nd - or, if Kislev has been a "short" month with one less day than normal, something that happens in the Hebrew calendar - the 3rd. As the Hebrew calendar does not match the Gregorian (secular) calendar, this means that Hanukkah can start on any day between late November to late December.
