January
The name derives from the Latin Janarium the eleventh month of the ancient Roman calendar, dedicated to two gods: A Janus-faced god, whose eyes, between December 31 and January 1, hugged together past and future, and Jupiter, the father of all gods.
Archaic Roman calendar in January did not exist because the year was made up only 10 months.
In the calendar of the Roman Republic, however, Januarius was the eleventh month of the calendar and counted 29 days. In the Julian calendar and
Augusteo Januarius became the first of the calendar months, with 31 days.
The American Indians adapted to the calculation of the calendar month of the pioneers, their tutavia months were related to the lunar cycle, and all peoples and tribes had names for the months of the year.
