November was originally the 9th month as the latin word for 9 indicates?
True, the names for September, October, November and December are from the Latin numbers septem (7), octo (8), novem (9) and decem (10) respectively, and these names reflected their position in the calendar until the extra months Januarius and Februarius were added, reputedly by the legendary king Numa Pompilius in 713 B.C. Before that time, there were 61 days of winter that were not assigned to any month. The months we know as July and August were originally called Quintilis (from quintus, "fifth") and Sextilis (from sextus, "sixth") until Quintilis was renamed Julius in honor of Julius Caesar in 44 B.C., and Sextilis became Augustus in honor of Caesar Augustus in 8 B.C.
