This is the names of the months come from

If Novem "new" means, why is November on the eleventh month?


The names of the 12 months of the year are some of the first words you learn. Soon, strange terms such as "October" and "February" become as familiar as a primary color or a favorite dish.

But such thinking leaves a deep narrative trowel worthy of the screen. The names of the month involve rich stories of kings, emperors and not missing from Greek and Roman gods. (They also tend to have totally non-sensitive numbering systems. For example,November But nine in Latin, but November is the eleventh month. What's new with that?)
