On a sleety snowy day after the middle of February, 2021, I decided to look up calendar things...
The Gregorian calendar continued to use the months found in the Julian calendar, which were named mainly after Roman gods. But, also historical figures and Latin terms.
January: named after Janus
February: in honor of Februus
March: derived from Mars
April: chosen from Aphrodite
May: in honor of Maia
June: named after Juno
July: selected after Julius Caesar
August: named after Augustus Caesar
September: seven in Latin
October: from the Latin for eight
November: nine in Latin
December: from the Latin for ten
