Previous answer:
No it was invented by the Romans in 46 AD and was called the "Julian calendar" because Julius Caesar was emperor. When Caesar was murdered the month of August was named after him.
This is not entirely correct. No, the 365 day was not invented in 1582, but it was not invented in 46 AD by Julius Caesar either. What Caesar did was change the Roman calender to 365 days but he did not come up with the concept of the 365 day calender himself. He consulted with Sosigenes of Alexandria who suggested to him an adoption of the 365 day Egyptian solar calender with a modification to include an extra day every fourth year, for a leap year. This idea had been tried before in Egypt, by Ptolemy III but the Egyptian people refused to follow it.
Also, it is not quite true that August was named for Julius Caesar after he was murdered. Augustus Caesar, Julius Caesar's successor, named it after himself in 8 AD.
