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.
