Etymology of month names

Etymology- a science that studies the origin of words, reconstructing the vocabulary of the most ancient period.

• Word month associated with *mænon - Moon, month.
• The names of the months in English originate from Julian calendar. Initially, the ancient Roman calendar had 10 months. The first month of the year was March.

• Julian calendar- a calendar developed by a group of Alexandrian astronomers led by Sosigenes. The calendar is named after Julius Caesar, by whose decree it was introduced into the Roman Empire from January 1, 45 BC. e. The year according to the Julian calendar begins on January 1, since it was on this day from 153 BC. e. The consuls elected by the comitia took office. In 46 BC. Julius Caesar introduced the counting of the year from January 1 and changed the number of days in some months. So, after the introduction of the Julian calendar average duration The year became 365.25 days: usually a year lasted 365 days, once every four years - 366 days.
• In the Roman calendar, four months of the year (March, May, July and October) consisted of 31 days, the remaining months had 30 days. That is, there were 304 days in a year. In the 7th century BC, the Romans made a reform and added an eleventh and twelfth month: January, (from Latin Jānuārius) - in honor ancient Roman god doors, roads and beginnings of Janus, who was depicted with two faces, and February(from Latin Februārius mēnsis - month of atonement), the name of which comes from the Roman festival of purification from sins februa, which was celebrated on February 15.

• March (March) named after the ancient Roman god of war, Mars.
• April- the name of the month comes from Latin word aperire, which means to open, perhaps because the buds open in April. According to another version, the name of the month comes from the Latin word Aprilis, which comes from the Greek word Aphro, which is a contraction of the name Aphrodite. That is, April is named after the ancient Greek goddess of love and beauty Aphrodite.
• May– received its name in honor of the Roman goddess of spring and earth, Maya.

• June– the month is named after the goddess Juno, who is the goddess of marriage. To this day, some people believe and choose to get married in June.
• July named after the ancient Roman commander Julius Caesar, who was born this month. Initially, July was called quintilis (from the Latin fifth), since it was the fifth in a row.
• August (August) originally called Sextilis (sixth), and then renamed in honor of the ancient Roman emperor Octavian Augustus.

The names of the following months come from Latin numerals:

• September - from Latin septem (seven).
• October — (October) has the root octo (eight).
• November (november)- novem (nine).
• December- decem (ten), respectively. The suffix -ber in these names is an adjective suffix, therefore literally the months are translated as the seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth.

All the hills are covered with snow,
And winter's now come fairly.

Goes to the fields at break of day,
And washes in dew from the hawthorn-tree,
Will ever after be handsome.
