Why Is October Not the Eighth Month? The meaning of October comes from the Latin word Octo meaning eight. The old Roman calendar started in March, so October was the eighth month. When the Roman senate changed the calendar in 153 BCE, the new year started in January, and October became the tenth month.
At the time Julius took office, the seasons and the calendar were three months out of alignment due to missing intercalations, so Julius added two extra months to the year 46 B.C., extending that year to 445 days.
Why are the months named wrong?
September is the ninth month because two months were added to the original ten month calendar, but those months were January and February. So January and February are the real culprits for the disparity of the names of the months vs. its position on the year.
Why is January named January?
Why is May named May?
