How were the names of the months decided?

Birthdays, wedding anniversaries, and public holidays are regulated by Pope Gregory XIII's Gregorian Calendar, which is itself a modification of Julius Caesar's calendar introduced in 45 B.C. The names of our months are therefore derived from the Roman gods, leaders, festivals, and numbers.

How did the 12 months get their names?

September, October, November, December

The names of the months are all derived from three sources: Greek and Roman deities, Roman rulers, and numbers.

Did our months have old names?

September, October, November and December are named after Roman numbers 7, 8, 9 and 10 – they were originally the seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth months of the Roman year. Before July and August were renamed after Roman rulers, they were called Quintilis and Sextilis, meaning fifth and sixth months.

Why are April May and June names?

APRIL: The name for this month may come from a Roman word for “second” – aprilis – as it was the second month of the Roman year. MAY: Spring is in full bloom for the Romans in May, and this month is named after Maia – a goddess of growing plants. JUNE: This month is named after Juno, the queen of the Roman gods.
