If the United States of America talks and writes dates in Month - Day - Year (where some other countries use Day-Month-Year) then why is it called the Forth of July and not July the Forth (their independence day)

"The Fourth of July" is the name of the holiday much like
"Christmas Day"
It's not written as a calendar reference.

Because we use this date as the "name" of the holiday.
normally it would be July the Fourth.

Actually it is the Fourth of July (not forth)
It is just a more "festive" way to describe the holiday.
