Where doesNovember come from?
The first records of the word November come from before 1000. It ultimately comes from the Latin November, meaning “ninth month.”
In the 10-month Roman calendar, which started with March, November was the ninth month. When Julius Caesar took control of Rome, he changed the length of some months and added new ones because January was falling in autumn due to the calendar’s inaccuracies. He added Quintilis, later to become July (named after Julius), and Sextilis, which would later become August (named after Augustus Caesar). This is how November went from being the ninth month to the eleventh month. Our Gregorian calendar is based on this Julius calendar.
