2. The Roman calendar was originally only 10 months, and the Roman head of state decided to add two months to the end of the year. Later, Julius Caesar moved these two months to the beginning of the year, becoming 65438+ October and February, and the original 65438+ October and February became March and April, and so on.

In January, in Roman legend, there was a patron saint named Janus. He had two faces, one looking back and the other looking forward to the future. People think that it is meaningful to choose his name as the name of the first month, and you can bid farewell to the old and welcome the new. English 65438+ October evolved from the Latin name of the patron saint Januarius.

April, April in Rome is a beautiful season for spring to return to bloom. April in English evolved from Latin Aprilis (the day of flowering).
