What is the origin of the names of the months of the year?

The first 6 months are named for various dieties and legendary figures, though there are disputes as to exactly how a few of the names were created. Janus --> January is clear; Mars --> March is also clear. The last four months of the year have odd origins. September, the 9th month, comes from the Latin for seventh; October from Latin for 8th and November and December for 9th and 10th. These words come from a very old Latin calendar with only 10 months; months were added into the calendar for Caesar Julius and Caesar Augustus. These months pushed back the last four months and made the names rather foolish. (There is an alternate explanation provided by some sources January and February were actually the inserted months; in that explanation July was "fifth" and August "sixth"). February comes from a combination of old English and Latin roots for month of purification. The name of April is disputed and may come from a ceremony honoring Venus. May and June also have some dispute.

Why are the last 4 months named in the shapes?

The last four months are actually named for numbers, not shapes. September - Latin root is septimus for seven. October - Latin root is octus for eight. November - root is novus for nine and December - decus for ten. Before you ask, I know these are the months we consider 9,10, 11 and 12 respectively. When the calendar was first created, it began with March, named for Mars, the Roman god of war. Hope this helped. The last four months are actually named after the Latin numbers for 7, 8, 9 and 10 respectively. (So were the shapes you have in mind so your confusion is understandable. Why 7 - 10 rahter than 9 - 12? The calendar originally began in March, not January. They are named after shapes. The names come from latin numbers. Sept is seven, Octus is eight, Novus is nine and Deci is ten...so the last four months in English come from the latin numbering system.
