十二个月的来历
公历一年有12个月，但不少人并不知道12 个月的英语名称的来历。公历起源于古罗马历法。罗马的英语原来只有10
个月，古罗马皇帝决定增加两个月放在年尾，后来朱里斯·凯撒大帝把这两个月移到年初，成为1月、2月，原来的1月、2月便成了3月、4月，依次类推。这就是今天世界沿用的公历。
January--1月
在罗马传说中，有一位名叫雅努斯的守护神，生有先后两副脸，一副回顾过去，一副要眺望未来。人们认为选择他的名字作为除旧迎新的第一个月月名，很有意义。英语January，便是由这位守护神的拉丁文名字January演变而来的。
February--2月
每年2月初，罗马人民都要杀牲饮酒，欢庆菲勃卢姆节。这一天，人们常用一种牛、草制成的名叫Februa的鞭子，抽打不育的妇女，以求怀孕生子。这一天，人们还要忏悔自己过去一年的罪过，洗刷自己的灵魂，求得神明的饶恕，使自己成为一个贞洁的人。英语2月February，便是由拉丁文Februar-ius(即菲勃卢姆节)演变而来。
March---3月
3月，原是罗马旧历法的1 月，新年的开始。凯撒大帝改革历法后，原来的1月变成3月，但罗马人仍然把3
月看做是一年的开始。另外，按照传统习惯，3月是每年出征远战的季节。为了纪念战神玛尔斯，人们便把这位战神的拉丁名字作为3月的月名。英语3月March，便是由这位战神的名字演变而来的。
April--4月
罗马的4月，正是大地回春.鲜花初绽的美好季节。英文4月April便由拉丁文April(即开花的日子)演变而来。
May--5月
罗马神话中的女神玛雅，专门司管春天和生命。为了纪念这位女神，罗马人便用她的名字--拉丁文Maius命名5月，英文5月May便由这位女神的名字演变而来。
June--6月
罗马神话中的裘诺，是众神之王，又是司管生育和保护妇女的神。古罗马对她十分崇敬，便把6月奉献给她，以她的名字--拉丁文Junius来命名6月。英语6月June便由这位女神的名字演变而来。也有学者认为，Junius可能是古代拉丁家族中一个显赫贵族的姓氏。
July--7月
罗马统治者朱里斯·凯撒大帝被刺死后，著名的罗马将军马克·安东尼建议将凯撒大帝诞生的7月，用凯撒的名字--拉丁文Julius(即朱里斯)命名之。这一建议得到了元老院的通过。英语7月July由此演变而来。
August--8月
朱里斯·凯撒死后，由他的甥孙屋大维续任罗马皇帝。为了和凯撒齐名，他也想用自己的名字来命名一个月份。他的生日在9月，但他选定8月。因为他登基后，罗马元老院在8
月授予他Augustus(奥古斯都)的尊号。于是，他决定用这个尊号来命名8月。原来8月比7月少一天，为了和凯撒平起平坐，他又决定从2月中抽出一天加在8月上。从此，2月便少了一天。英语8月August便由这位皇帝的拉丁语尊号演变而来。
September--9月
老历法的7月，正是凯撒大帝改革历法后的9月，拉丁文Septem是7月的意思。虽然历法改革了，但人们仍袭用旧名称来称呼9月。英语9月September便由此演变而来。
October--10月
英语10月，来自拉丁文Octo，即8的意思。它和上面讲的9月一样，历法改了，称呼仍然沿用未变。
November--11月
罗马皇帝奥古斯都和凯撒都有了自己名字命名的月份，罗马市民和元老院要求当时的罗马皇帝梯比里乌斯用其名命名11月。但梯比里乌斯没有同意，他明智地对大家说，如果罗马每个皇帝都用自己的名字来命名月份，那么出现了第13个皇帝怎么办？于是，11月仍然保留着旧称Novem，即拉丁文9的意思。英语11月November便由此演变而来。
December--12月
罗马皇帝琉西乌斯要把一年中最后一个月用他情妇的Amagonius的名字来命名，但遭元老院的反对。于是，12月仍然沿用旧名Decem，即拉丁文10的意思。英语12月December，便由此演变
