The Romans had no word for Friday. They did not name the days of their week, they connoted them by the divisions of their calendar and with numbers denoting the number of days before the next calendar division. Our word for Friday has a hazy background. Some claim it is from Old English, others say it is from High German and yet others say it is from Old Norse.The Romans had no word for Friday.

This was the month during which England shifted from the Roman Julian Calendar to the Gregorian Calendar. A Julian year was 11 days longer than a Gregorian year. So, the King of England ordered 11 days to be wiped off the face of that particular month. So, the workers worked for 11 days less that month, but got paid for the whole month. That's how the concept of "paid leave" was born. Hail the King!!! In the Roman Julian Calendar, April used to be the first month of the year; but the Gregorian Calendar observed January as the first month. Even after shifting to the Gregorian Calendar, many people refused to give up old traditions and continued celebrating 1st April as the New Year's Day. When simple orders didn't work, the King finally issued a royal dictum; which stated that those who celebrated 1st April as the new year's day would be labelled as fools. From then on, 1st April became April Fool's Day. History is really interesting.
November used to be the ninth month of the year (and logically should be), until countries changed from the Julian Calendar to the Gregorian Calendar. For instance, England did not change to the Gregorian Calendar until 1752.09.14. The states of Washington, Oregon, and those on the Eastern Seaboard, changed on this date, as well. The rest of the United States of America changed in 1582.November Latin: November. From the word novem, nine, because it was the 9th month in the old Roman calendar. http://www.tondering.dk/claus/calendar.html = The Calendar FAQhttp://www.norbyhus.dk/calendar.html = The Perpetual Calendar (dates for when most countries switched to using the Gregorian Calendar)http://sacred-texts.com/time/smd/smd13.htm = The Romans and the 9th MonthOf course, for general knowledge, you can search "Julian calendar" and "Gregorian calendar" on Wikipedia.org.
The old roman calendar such as December mean 10 month because dec mean 10.
The name "December" comes from the Latin word "decem," which means "ten." In the original Roman calendar, December was actually the tenth month, but when the calendar was later modified, it became the twelfth month. Despite this change, the name remained the same.
December got its name because it was the tenth month in the old Roman calendar which started the year in the Spring.
October is the tenth month of the year in the Gregorian Calendar. October is the eighth month in the old Roman calendar, October retained its name (from the Latin "octo" meaning "eight") after July and August, after Julius and Augustus Caesar respectively, when the calendar was originally created by the Romans.
It was the 5th month of the old Roman calendar, with the Latin name "Quintilus".
The root octo is Latin for eight and October was the 8th month in the old Roman calendar, which started in Spring. Similarly, December was the 10th month and Quintus was the 5th month, which was renamed Julius (July) in honor of Julius Caesar.
Words that have "nov" meaning "nine" in them include "November" (the eleventh month in the Gregorian calendar, originally the ninth month in the Roman calendar), "nonagenarian" (a person who is between 90 and 99 years old), and "novemdecillion" (a cardinal number represented in the U.S. by 1 followed by 60 zeros).
It was the 7th month in the old Roman calendar. "Sept" -> 7th "Oct" -> 8th "Nov" -> 9th "Dec" -> 10th When the calendar was revised, the 7th to 10th months moved to their current ordinal positions of 9th to 12th
September came from Septem which is Latin for seven because it was the seventh month after July and August in the old Roman calendar.
From Latin, septem - seven. The old Roman calendar began with March, until the Julian calendar reform in 46 BC moved the new year back two months.
October is the tenthmonth of the year in the Gregorian Calendar and one of seven Gregorian months with a length of 31 days. The eighth month in the old Roman calendar, October retained its name (from the Latin "octo" meaning "eight") when January and February were added.
