February-February Every year at the beginning of February, the Romans would slaughter animals and drink alcohol to celebrate February Festival.

February in English evolved from the Latin Februar-ius (February Festival).
March-March, originally 65438+ 10 month in the ancient 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. In order to commemorate the God of War in Mars mythology, people take his Latin name as the name of March. March in English evolved from the name of this god of war.
April-April in Rome is a beautiful season for spring back to bloom. April in English evolved from Latin April (the day of flowering).

In June, Juno in Roman mythology was the king of the gods and the god in charge of fertility and protection of women.

August-After Julius Caesar died in August, his nephew Octavian succeeded the Roman emperor. In order to be as famous as Caesar, he wants to be named after himself for another month. 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 turns out that August is one day less than July. In order to be equal to Caesar, he decided to take a day from mid-February and add it to August. Since then, February has lost one day. English August evolved from the Latin honorifics of emperors.
September-July in the lunar calendar is September after Julius Caesar reformed the calendar. Latin September means "July". Although the calendar has been reformed, people still use the old name to call September. This is the evolution of English in September.

So 1 1 month still keeps the old name Novem, which means "9" in Latin. English 165438+ 10/month1month evolved from this.
1February-65438+February The Roman emperor Julius wanted to name the last month of the year after his mistress Amago Nyus, but the Senate opposed it. So 65438+ February still uses the old name Decem, which means "10" in Latin. English 65438+ December, which evolved from it.
