Months of the Year
https://www.almanac.com/content/how-did-months-get-their-names
First of all, January as first month of the Julian or Gregorian calendar, isn't even in sync the the season! It starts about 11 days into Winter, which means that each seasonal solstice or equinox doesn't align with the calendar month by 8-11 days.
The first month of the new year should coincide with the Spring equinox timeframe. The one good thing about the Gentile calendar is that it IS strictly solar. Last Days' prophetic events however, will include not just the Sun, but the Moon also. Jesus/Yeshua said, Look up, ...for your redemption draweth nigh. Luke 21: 25-28
Our months have 28, or 29 days, and usually 30 or 31 days. The Hebrew calendar is more in sync with the moon's actual orbit, 29 or 30 days, always. The middle of the Hebrew month is the Full Moon, always.
On the Hebrew calendar, the 1st month is in the Spring, when there is new growth of plants. The 1st Hebrew month typically starts mid March or early April: close to the Spring Equinox. The Hebrew calendar is a lunar-solar calendar. Every few years a leap month is added to stay in sync with the solar seasons. Generally the end of the 12th Hebrew month is in the earlier part of March.

January was named for the Roman God Janus.February: Named for the Latin word februa, to cleanse (purification and atonement).March related to the opening of the military season. It was named for the Roman God, Mars.April: A seasonal name related to the flowers starting to open.May was named for the Roman earth goddess, Maia.June was named for the Roman goddess, Juno, ruler of marriage and women's health. July: Named to honor Roman dictator Julius Caesar (100 B.C.– 44 B.C.) after his death. In 46 B.C., Julius Caesar made one of his greatest contributions to history: With the help of Sosigenes, he developed the Julian calendar, the precursor to the Gregorian calendar we use today. August: Named to honor the first Roman emperor (and grandnephew of Julius Caesar), Augustus Caesar (63 B.C.– A.D. 14). Ah Ha! A clue: September, October, November, December
These calendar months' names give us a huge clue that the calendar was changed.
September comes from the Latin word Septem, meaning “Seven,” as in 7th month. Ah ha! On our current calendar, September is the 9th month, but it used to be the 7th month.
October is now the 10th month in the modern calendar, but Octo = Eight. It used to be the Eighth month.
November is the 11th month, but it used to be the 9th month. Nove = Nine.
December is the 12th and last month of the year. It used to be the 10th month. Decem means Ten.
