No where........ meanwhile, January - Januarius, translation of Latin Januarius, named after JANUS, god of beginnings. February -Februarius, named for Februa, the feast of purification. March - March (e), from Latin Martius, (month of) Mars. April - Averil, OF Avril, Latin Aprilis mensis (month). The name may derive from the Greek goddess of love, Aphrodite. May -Maius, Latin Maius mensis (month), from the Greek Maia, goddess of spring . June - Jun(e), Iunius, from Latin mensis Junius, named after the goddess Juno, Queen of the gods. July – Julie/Julius, from Latin Julius (Caesar) after whom it was named in 44 BC. The original name was quintilis, August -Agustus from Latin Augustus (Caesar) 8 BC. The original name was sextilis, sixth month in the early Roman calendar. September -Septembre from Latin September, seventh month in the early Roman calendar October - from Latin October, eighth month in the early Roman calendar November -from Latin November, ninth month of the early Roman calendar, from novem NINE December -Decembre from OF and Latin December, tenth month of the early Roman calendar (decem TEN + membri from mens MONTH + ri suffix). NB: Julius Caesar asked an astronomer, Sosigenes of Alexandria, Egypt, to devise a better calendar. What resulted is called the Julian Calendar. He abandoned aligning the months with lunar cycles, and adopted months of 30 or 31 days length, keeping February at 28 days. He introduced an extra day in February in leap years. Sound familiar? Julius Caesar re-named the 5th month after himself. His successor, Augustus Caesar, re-named the 6th month after himself. The first day of each month was called Kalendae, or calends. Debts were due on this day, so books to track payments were called calendarium (account book) from which we get our modern day calendar. |
