The Romans had ten months in their year.

Their months were

* Martius (31 days) * Aprilis (30 days) * Maius (31 days) * Iunius (30 days) * Quintilis (31 days) * Sextilis (30 days) * September (30 days) * October (31 days) * November (30 days) and * December (30 days) Martius was named after their God of War - Mars

Aprilis was possibly named after Aphros - the Roman equivalent of the Greek Goddess Aphrodite

Maius was named from the Greek Goddess Maia

Junius is named after the Goddess Juno - wife of Jupiter.

All the other months are named after their numbers - Quintilis means fifth, Sextilis means sixth, and so on to December which was the tenth month.... the same root as the word decimal.

How did December get its name and why?

December got its name from the Latin word "decem," meaning "ten," as it was originally the tenth month of the Roman calendar. The Roman calendar began in March, so December fell in the last position of the calendar year. When January and February were added to the calendar, December became the twelfth month, but its name remained unchanged. This historical context highlights the evolution of the calendar system over time.
