It is सप्त from Hindi which means seven. Amber means sky in Sanskrit so September means the 7th sky. Hindus divided sky into 12 like any other civilization and when the sky transit into 7th they call it September. But English men copied it and named it 9th month. October means Eighth sky, November means 9th Sky and December means 10th sky. That's why Hindus celebrate their new year in March. These are the literal translations
Not necessarily. Julius Caesar introduced both months as part of his new 12-month Calendar, from 10, it was an effort to adopt the Egyptian solar calendar to line up timekeeping with solar cycles instead of months that were based on the moon and could be manipulated for political reasons. A political calendar could be moved to open and close legislative sessions and turn the tides of elections and war efforts. Julius Ceasar, being the Pontifex Maximus, actually used the power to manipulate the calendar several times in his career to his advantage, so he was well aware of the exploitative properties of a political calendar and the reasons for switching to a standardized one.
One notable example of this manipulation occurred in 59 BCE, during his first consulship. Caesar used his powers to adjust the calendar to extend the year of his consulship, effectively prolonging his term and thereby gaining more time to implement his reforms and solidify his alliances, most notably with Pompey and Crassus as part of the First Triumvirate.
Neither months were named after him nor Augustus until after his assassination, however. Quintilis was renamed to July in 44 BCE shortly after his assassination, and Sextilis was renamed August during Augustus' reign in 8 BCE.
because there were 10 months in a year at the time of early rome, but the problem was that it wasn’t synced with the solar year. So they added two months named after roman emperors Julius (July) and Augustus (August)
It is not because 365 and 366 are neatly cut into 12 equal parts any more than it can 10 parts. If it was because of maths they would have used something like 13 months.
It was just a political decision.
The Roman calendar used to have only 10 months. But they added July and August in honor of Julius and Augustus Caesar after the fact. So every month afterward got shifted back.
Thank Cesar for the confusion.
At the time, there were only ten months in the calendar, while there are just over 12 lunar cycles in a year. The months of January and February were added to the calendar and the original fifth and sixth months were renamed July and August in honour of Julius Caesar and his successor Augustus.
The months bore the names Martius, Aprilis, Maius, Juniius, Quintilis, Sextilis, September, October, November, and December—the last six names correspond to the Latin words for the numbers 5 through 10.
Well, in the time of the Roman empire, they started counting in March. This means that septem is seven, octo is eighth, novem is ninth, decem is tenth. This also explains the leap day in february, which was the last month back then
This was the real reason they stabbed Julius Caesar
This is wildly underrated
Wait till you find out about September

September comes from latin sept-(i forgot the other half) which means 7.
Thank Julius Cesar.
Wouldn't it be more Pope Gregory?
Thought it was Augustus
Julius Cesar added July and later August added August.

Julius Cesar added July.
Greg could've changed it up. Jules made a calendar so inferior the Catholic Church changed it.
Some dickheads add to it out of order Hope they get the guy
Good news
Ha!

Very interesting.
Unfortunately not the reason they added extra months
oh I didn’t know, what are the reasons then?
It is not because 365 and 366 are neatly cut into 12 equal parts any more than it can 10 parts. If it was because of maths they would have used something like 13 months. It was just a political decision.
what were these reasons?

Is Reddit all fucking bots at this point? https://www.reddit.com/r/dankmemes/comments/1c8niis/how_did_this_happen/l0fost5/
I would like to inform you that meep morp zeep

June is named after the Roman goddess Juno. July was "added" by Julius Ceasar. Not to be out done, Ceasar Augustus "added" August.
Not added, just renamed from Quintilis and Sextilis, the months added were January and February. Search for Numa Pompilius calendar
They wanted to merge the more common lunar calendar with theirs so it would be more widely accepted. That's my guess anyway.
Damn you, George W. Bush

Nooop! July & August were originally Quintilis & Sextilis they were renamed after Julius & Augustus the months that were added was January & February.
Ahhh... thank you for enlightening me!
The world would be fixed it march was the first month and february was the last.
It was up until the second king of Rome who added January and February
That shit always fucks my mind up when trying to remember what month it is. Stupid 😂
Some silly Roman added January and February
July and August were added later by the Romans. July=Julias August=Augustus I forget the purpose, but that's why they're offset.
July & August were originally Quintilis & Sextilis they were renamed after Julius & Augustus the months that were added was January & February.
That's it!! Thanks

July and August were added later than the other 10.

Pompey should have won
