:/kloc-the origin of the English name of 0/2 months
The Gregorian calendar has 12 months in a year, but many people don't know the origin of the English name of 12 months. The Gregorian calendar originated from the ancient Roman calendar. Roman English used to be only 10 months, and the Roman emperor decided to add two months to the end of the year. Later, Julius Caesar moved these two months to the beginning of the year and became 1 month. February became March. April, and so on. This is the Gregorian calendar used in the world today. ?
January-1month? In Roman legend, there was a patron saint named janus who had two faces, one looking back on the past and the other looking forward to the future. People think it is meaningful to choose his name as the name of the first month to get rid of the old and welcome the new. English January evolved from the Latin name January of the patron saint. ?
February? At the beginning of February every year, the Roman people killed animals and drank wine to celebrate Fiblum Festival. On this day, people often use a whip made of cattle and grass called Februa to beat infertile women in order to get pregnant and have children. On this day, people will also repent their sins of the past year, wash their souls, seek forgiveness from the gods, and make themselves a chaste person. February February in English is derived from Latin Februar-ius (Februar-ius Festival). ?
March-----3 March? March, originally 1 month of the old Roman calendar, is the beginning of the new year. After Julius Caesar reformed the calendar, the original 1 month became March, but the Romans still regarded March as the beginning of the year. In addition, according to traditional habits, March is the season of going to war every year. To commemorate Mars mythology, the God of War, people took his Latin name as the name of March. March March in English evolved from the name of this god of war. ?

Some scholars also believe that Junius may be the surname of a prominent nobleman in a Latin family. ?
July-July? After Julius Caesar, the Roman ruler, was assassinated, Mark, a famous Roman general, named the July of Julius Caesar's birth after Tony's suggestion. This proposal was passed by the Senate. July in English evolved from this. ?
August-August? After Julius Caesar's death, his nephew Octavian succeeded him as the Roman emperor. In order to be as famous as Caesar, he also wants to name a month after himself. His birthday is in September, but he chose August. Because after he ascended the throne, the Roman Senate awarded him the title of Augustus in August. So, he decided to use this honorific name to name August. It turned out that August was one day less than July. In order to be equal to Caesar, he decided to take a day out of mid-February and add it to August. Since then, February has lost one day. English August evolved from the emperor's Latin honorific title. ?

Therefore, 1 1 month still retains its old name Novem, which means "9" in Latin. English 1 1 month November evolved from this. ?
