Month source

After Julius Caesar died, his nephew Octavian became the first Roman emperor. In order to be as famous as Caesar, he wants to be named after himself for another month. His birthday is in September, but he chose August.

Because after he ascended the throne, the Roman Senate awarded him the title of Latin -Augustus in August. So, he decided to use this honorific name to name August. It turns out that August is one day less than July. In order to be equal to Caesar, he decided to take a day from mid-February and add it to August. Since then, February has lost one day. English August evolved from the Latin honorifics of emperors.
