Naming December - The Tenth Month

December is the twelfth and last month of the year in the modern day Gregorian calendar and its predecessor, theJulian calendar. The month kept its original name from the Latin word decem meaning “ten” which marked it as the tenth month of the year in the Roman calendar.

December was named during a time when the calendar year began with March, which is why its name no longer corresponds with its placement in the Julian and Gregorian calendars.

• Middle English - decembre
• Latin name - December - tenth month
• Old English - Geol-monaþ - month before yule

History of December

December was originally the last month of the Roman calendar since the winter period was not assigned months. It originally consisted of 30 days, but its length was shortened to 29 days when King Numa Pompilius reformed the calendar and added the months of January and Februaryaround 700 BCE. During the Julian calendar reform, two days were added to December making it 31 days long.
