The months of the year originated from the Roman calendar, which was initially a lunar calendar consisting of ten months, starting with March. Later, around 713 BCE, January and February were added, creating a twelve-month system. The names of the months were derived from Latin, with many reflecting numbers (like September for the seventh month) or honoring Roman gods and leaders. The modern Gregorian calendar, adopted in 1582, further refined this system but retained the original month names.
