Origin of the Months Names.

January was named after the
Roman god, Janus; the deity
with two faces, one looking into the
past and the other gazing forward to
the FUTURE writes Clifford Howard,
in the June Ladies' Home Journal.
February comes from the Latin
word februo, to purify. 1t was Gust
Omary for the Romans to observe
festivals of publication during that
month. March owes its name to the
old God of War. Among the Saxons
this month was known as Lenct,
meaning spring; and this is the origin
OF our word Lent. April was named
from the Latin aperio, to open, in
Specification of the opening of flowers.
The SaXons called the month Eastre,
in honor of their Goddess Of Spring.
which comes our word Easter, May
was named after the Roman goddess
Maia, and June was SO-called in hon
or OF Juno. July was named in honor
of Julius Caesar, and August gets its
name from Augustus Caesar. Septem-
Der is from the Latin Septem, seven,
this being the seventh month accord
ing to the old Roman calendar.
October. November and December
also retain the names by which they
were known under the old calendar,
when there were but ten months in
in the year-octO, novem and deem
meaning eight, nine and ten"
