12 months in English with pronunciation and translation

Each month in English is mostly derived from the names of Greek and Roman gods or goddesses, including:

January comes from Janus, the Roman god of beginnings and endings. Which has two sides to look at the past and the future
February or February is said to come from an ancient Roman festival called Februa (Feast of Purification), a festival celebrating purity, health and abundance. Or some say it comes from Februs, the god of death and purity.
The month of March comes from Mars, the Roman god of war. (Originally the Roman calendar started with March. Before January and February were added)
The month April comes from the Latin word aperire which means to bloom, like flowers that bloom in spring. The Romans called the month April.
The month of May comes from the Greek goddess Maia, the goddess of growth and fertility.
The month of June is named after the Roman goddess Juno, the goddess of marriage and childbirth.
The month July or July comes from Julius Caesar of the Roman Empire.
The month of August is named after Augustus Caesar, the first Roman Emperor.
September or September comes from the Latin word Septem, meaning seven.
The month October or October comes from the Latin word octo, which means eight.
The month of November comes from the Latin word november which means nine.
The month of December comes from the Latin word Decem, which means ten.

The reason the last 4 months come from the numbers 7, 8, 9, 10 is that the walking calendar system starts from the month of March. About 2,700 years ago, the Romans created a lunar calendar so that there were only 10 months in one year, or approximately 304 days. , starting from March to December and later, January and February were added, postponing the last 4 months to become 9, 10, 11, 12 months as they are today.
