Answer 1

Hebrew names of the months with their Babylonian analogs Number Hebrew name Length Babylonian analog Notes
1 Nisan / Nissan 30 days Nisanu called Aviv in the Tanakh
2 Iyar 29 days Ayaru called Ziv in the Tanakh
3 Sivan 30 days Simanu
4 Tammuz 29 days Du'uzu
5 Av 30 days Abu
6 Elul 29 days Ululu
7 Tishrei 30 days Tashritu called Eitanim in the Tanakh
8 Cheshvan 29 or 30 days Arakhsamna also spelled Heshvan; called Bul in the Tanakh
9 Kislev 30 or 29 days Kislimu also spelled Chislev
10 Tevet 29 days Tebetu
11 Shevat 30 days Shabatu
12* Adar I* 30 days Adaru *Only in leap years
12 / 13* Adar / Adar II* 29 days

During leap years Adar I (or Adar Aleph — "first Adar") is considered to be the extra month, and has 30 days. Adar II (or Adar Bet — "second Adar") is the "real" Adar, and has 29 days as usual. For example, in a leap year, the holiday of Purim is in Adar II, not Adar I.

Answer 2

To start off with the Jewish calender has 12 regular months. Veader (2 Adar) is only added in some years. Making it 13 in those cases.
---------------- March
Nisan (Abib)
----------------- April
Iyar (Ziv)
----------------- May
Sivan
----------------- June
Tamuz
------------------ July
Ab
------------------ August
Elul
--------------- September
Tisri (Etanim)
---------------- October
Hesvan (Bul)
----------------- November
Kislev
---------------- December
Tebet
--------------- January
Sebat
----------------- February
Adar
Veadar (2 ADAR)------ March


Btw I got this from a Spanish list so the spelling of the previous poster is probably better
* Each month begins in the half point of one of our months and ends in the half point of the following month.In other words they have no direct corresponding month. The exception is when Veadar is added in since it corresponds with the month of March. This calender follows the lunar year and not the solar year.
