The ancient Egyptian calendar consisted of twelve months, each containing 30 days, which totaled 360 days in a year. To align the calendar with the solar year, they added an additional five days at the end of the year, known as the "epagomenal days." This brought the total to 365 days, which closely approximates the solar year.

The months of the year originated from the Roman calendar, which was initially a lunar calendar consisting of ten months, starting with March. Later, around 713 BCE, January and February were added, creating a twelve-month system. The names of the months were derived from Latin, with many reflecting numbers (like September for the seventh month) or honoring Roman gods and leaders. The modern Gregorian calendar, adopted in 1582, further refined this system but retained the original month names.
The Chinese lunar calendar does not use months, rather divisions. The Chinese lunar calendar has 24 divisions in a year.
The Roman Calendar has 10 months in its system. Among these ten months, there were 304 days. This has been expanded on to 12 months and 365 days, which is still used today.
