January is named after Janus,
Who is the Roman God
In charge of the world.
February is Februalia,
A time: sacrifices are made
And sins, atoned for.
March is Mar, God of War,
And father of Romulus,
Who ruled the Roman Empire.
April is Aperira in Latin,
Meaning to open the buds in
Spring.
May is Maia, Goddess of
Fertility.
June is Juno, wife and sister
of
Jupiter and protector of
women.
July is Emperor Julius
Caesar.
August is Augustus, grandson
of
Julius Caesar’s sister.
September, October, November
and December
Are Septen, Octo, Noven and
Decm
Standing for seven, eight,
nine and ten.
The relevance of names are
lost
When their connectivity is
not understood.
