Who named the months in the year ?

Answer 1

The Romans named them for gods (except for September, October, November and December, which just mean 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th). July was named for Julius Caesar (regarded as a God after his death) and August for Augustus Caesar (also regarded asa God after his death).

Answer 2

My dad did. Didn't he do a great job?
In actual fact, it was the ancient Romans who gave names to the calendar we use. Other cultures, eg Mayan, Chinese, use other calendars and they have different names for their months.
The Romans originally had only ten months of the year, each with 30 days, and what they called the 'ides' in March, which were five left-over days that didn't count and were generally given over to festivals, feasts etc. Also slaying kings -- Julius Caesar was killed then, which gave rise to the saying, 'Beware the Ides of March'. Today it could refer to the taxman.
But I digress.
Using this system, the days gradually got out of whack and January was drifting into the spring and summer months, so two new months were created, September (the seventh month) and October (the eighth month) - septus is latin for seven and octo is latin for eight, to get the calendar straightened out again.

Answer 3

The Greeks and the Romans where the names, mostly derive from the Gods and Goddesses of their time. Except July was name after Julius Caesar and August after Augustus who wanted to have as many days as Julius Caesar's month had and the rest of the months such as september through december, where name as the numbers, follow from 9 through 12 but those months are believed to be attributed to the vedic culture.

Answer 4

They are all from Roman and Greek words and culture. Although the present state of the calendar was not the way the Romans originally created it.

January- named for Janus (Ianuarius), the god of the doorway and beginnings in Roman mythology.
February- was named after the Latin term Februltus, which means "a righting of wrongs," as in the Roman calendar February was a month where purification rituals were to take place.
March- In ancient Rome, March was called Martius, so named after the Roman god of war (Mars) and was considered a lucky time to begin a war.
April- from the Latin aperire, "to open," in allusion to its being the season when trees and flowers begin to "open"
May- for the Greek goddess Maia, who was identified with the Roman goddess of fertility, Bona Dea, whose festival was held in May.
June- named after The Roman goddess Juno, wife of Jupiter and equivalent to The Greek goddess Hera.
July- for Julius Caesar
August- for Augustus Caesar
September- in The original roman calendar it was the 7th month
October- in the original roman calendar it was the 8th month
November- in the original roman calendar it was the 9th month
December- in the original roman calendar it was the 10th month.

Answer 5

The names of the months became to be called so under the influence of both the Roman and Vedic culture over time.

Some months are named after Roman Gods (Eg. January is named after Janus) while other are named after the Sanskrit version of the Vedic names (Eg. September literally means seventh sky, sapt-ambar, in sanskrit)

Answer 6

All that stuff started back so far that I couldn't hazard a guess as to the multitude of times they have been named and then changed to something else. The Roman Empire was the one that had the most influence in the decisions made for that.
