Those months were renamed (originally called Quintilis and Sextilis). January and February were added to the Roman calendar. The 10 months of the old Roman calendar are as follows: Martius, Aprilis, Maius, Junius, Quintilis, Sextilis, September, October, November, and December.

I just googled it and came to post this but see you already did.

This isn't quite accurate, og Roman calendar was 10 months and July and August were simply known by different names before Caesar renamed them (Iunius and Quintilis). When they switched to a 12 month calendar they added two extra months (which are our January and February). February was weird back then too because they used it to make up the difference in time due to the rotation of the earth (like our leap year every four years) but the duration varied significantly with a 13th month every second year after February and the yearly calendar working on a four year cycle.

For those curious, Janurary through June were named after Gods while July through December were simply 6-10

Very interesting thank you!

You can blame a sultry little bitch named Julius Caesar and his son Augustus for fucking up the naming scheme of the Gregorian calendar.

Theyre actually reversed names of gods. The ancient god Rebmetpes was the ninth son of the chief god of Arendellean mythology, Radnelac. The name of his 10 bladed sword was Rebotco.
