It really helped me and my thoughts!!! Jan 4, Whyvette Dec 14, I was just sitting in my living room thinking, why are the months called these names? Could it mean something we don't know? I was trying to put somethings together but I can only go by numbers. Dec 18, Dec 7, Thanks for sharing your thoughts, landyn!!!
Barry Angle Jun 9, What if there was a thirteenth month? I would probably name it tredecimer, because "tredecim-" means thirteen. Jun 13, Thanks for teaching us something, Barry! Apr 26, Goldenstar Apr 11, I've thought about this with a friend. If we were to follow the months as numbers, December would be the tenth month. Here are the months I made up! It sounds weird, but it's what I made up. It is based loosely on the months that are already there.

Nov 22, Nebpitbull Oct 11, Oct 12, David Aug 1, Thanks if this article is factually true then it proved my doubts as to the correct ages of the biblical figures like Noah over years and others. In this technological times if someone claims to be years then it is difficult to prove if proper records were not kept. January was added much later. In these times if i do not have a calender I am confused about the dates.
What calenders did they use in those anciant times? The writers could mention up to 42 generations of other people yet I can only go back to 4 generations of my own ancesters. Perhaps you can help me. Gigi Oct 3, Aug 1, Yes it was indeed informative thanks. Aug 3, Great to hear, David! Kenworth Lachlan Kenny Jun 20, I had to do homework on why the months were named as they are.
The first site this one I went to helped me out. Our teacher said we may not find the meaning of all of them. This site proved her wrong! Jun 20, Holly Milligan Apr 21, This was very useful and it really helped me with my work. All of this information was so helpful. Apr 22, Mar 16, We're glad you stopped by! Kevin Powell Mar 13, Your article on the names of the month was very interesting and educational. Thank you for creating this. This website wasn't helpful for my assessment:.
Mar 10, Mar 4, I learned that September means 7 in Roman times cool:. Feb 21, Hi, kari! Thanks for sharing what you learned! I learned some of the goddesses names and that our months were a hole lot different. Awesome, natalie! Anet Jan 27, Hello, thank you for your great and interesting article!
The names are related mainly to our four seasons of the year. It is quite ancient now, but it has its magic. Jan 28, Thanks for sharing this information, Anet! Very interesting! Ismail Jan 4, Jan 5, Thanks for the feedback, Ismail! We're glad you liked this Wonder.
Nov 6, Brianna A Oct 15, How did you get all this information? Anyway thanks for all the info!!!! I love Wonderopolis. Oct 15, Joelle May 20, Thank you for responding to this wonder! Greek mythology! I freaked out while I was reading each month's Roman relationship to it was. I think that this wonder very captivating! It's extremely interesting how the months were named after the Roman gods and goddesses. I was born in March, the month named after Mars! I also found it interesting that April is the only month named after a Greek goddess- Aphrodite, not Venus, Aphrodite's Roman equivalent.
I also like how you wrote your explanation of the months' names. You started off with a question, and it really made me think! Great job on your Wonder! It was magnificent! May 21, We appreciate your support, Joelle! Joelle May 21, Back at you, Wonderopolis! Jennifer Schmidt Jan 27, Later, when He made a Covenant with ancient "Israel", He established the "moonths", and said that the "moonth" of the Aviv, or Abib, in the spring, would be the "beginning of moonths for them", since His calendar was a lunar calendar, and was established according to the phases of the moon, not the solar calendar, in honor of the sun-god, "Ra".
His calendar is the Biblically, agriculturally, and astronomically correct calendar, but it has been lost to His creation and to His own Covenant people. The Sep, Oct, Nov, and Dec values of those "moonths", would fit precisely with the Biblical calendar, as 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th "moonths". Same with days of the week Since everyone has also "forgotten" that sequence, in contradiction to what we were commanded to do, to "Remember the Sabbath Day, to keep it set apart", holy , and God, YHVH, is a God of order Wonderopolis Feb 25, Ariana Oct 21, I was born in April and my name is Ariana April S.
December ber? Agustus ;p. Wonderopolis Oct 22, Frank Escalante Apr 10, This is great and very informative write up, but It could be more convincing if it's cited with references or source of information. This way, it would sound scholarly. Can anybody also share information as to the date of origin and who's the Pope created or made a decree on some Pagan rituals to be adapted to the Roman Church worship so the Pagans would join the Roman Catholic Church?
Please use citations or references. Wonderopolis Apr 11, Mikayla Murphy Feb 24, I had no clue that February and January was the 11th and 12th month. Thank you for putting this video on here. You taught me something I had no clue about. Wonderopolis Feb 24, Anonymous Feb 24, Thanks for letting us know, Anonymous! Athvait Jan 20, This was very VERY helpful for my blog.

Jessie Churchill, San Francisco, USA Septemeber is the ninth month for us, but the Romans had only ten months in their calendar, so the number-names worked out right for them.
This nudged the later months along by two and so September became the ninth instead of the seventh month etc. It was only later when July and August Julius and Augustus Caesar were added that they became out of sequence.
Keith Mason, London, UK The answer is obvious - the year used to start in March close to the vernal equinox rather than January approximately the winter solstice.
