The months of the year were named primarily from Latin and derived from the Roman calendar. January is named after Janus, the god of beginnings; March is named for Mars, the God of War; and April may derive from the Latin word "aperire," meaning to open, possibly referring to spring. Several months, such as July and August, were named in honor of Roman leaders Julius Caesar and Augustus, respectively, while the remaining months retain their numerical Latin origins, reflecting their position in the calendar.
