Everything that concerns the emperors and commanders, we are aware of and seems to be the truth, but the rest of the months seem to me to be "pulled by the ears." Not?
Remembering …
March
The name March (lat. Martius) comes from the name of the Roman god Mars - the god of war. In ancient Rome, apparently, they remembered him with the arrival of spring, when it was possible to go hiking.
April
Promotional video:
April - from the Latin word Aprilis - disclosure. Apparently, the name is associated with the period when the buds open on the trees.
May
May (Majus) got its name in honor of the goddess of spring Maya, revered in ancient Rome, and the Italian goddess Mayesta, who patronized the fertile land.
June
June (Junius) - is directly related to the goddess Juno, the wife of Jupiter, who patronized women. According to another version, the name of this summer month is associated with the name of the first Roman consul, Junius Brutus.
July
July (Julius) owes its name to the famous commander and politician Julius Caesar, who began the reform of the calendar. Before the reform, July was called "Quintilis" - "Fifth".
August
Excuse me, my 5 kopecks were amended to the calendar and the emperor Augustus, respectively, the month called "Sextilis" - "Sixth", began to be called Augustus (Augustus).
September October November December
Since none of the emperors, obviously, enjoyed such authority as the two above to make changes to the calendar, the remaining months are named by the ordinal numbers in the calendar. Although history shows that such attempts have been made more than once or twice. Which emperor does not want to leave his mark on history?
September from lat. septem - seventh; October from lat. octo - eighth; November from lat. Novem - ninth; December from lat. decem is the tenth.
January
The name January (Januarius) comes from the name of the Roman god Janus, the very two-faced one who patronized all kinds of undertakings, travelers, was considered the guardian of the roads.
February
Well, the name of February (Februarius) is associated with the "holiday of purification" - Februa, since in this month rituals of atonement were traditionally held.
