  Different months are named on the basis of different language intellects and beliefs. Here is listed reasons behind naming different months differently:

  1. January- in honor of Roman god Janus.

  2. February- in honor of Roman festival of purification.

  3. March- in honor of Roman god Mars.

  4. April- it is considered as time when earth produces new fruits.

  5. May- in honor of Greek goddess Maia.

  6. June- in honor of Roman goddess Juno.

  7. July- in honor Roman emperor Julius Caesar.

  8. August- in honor of Roman emperor Augustus Caesar.

  Remaining months are named on the basis of latin words.

  I hope this answer helps!😊
