I think i know about July and August. Juliyes kesar and Augustin. they are two kings of rome one afther the other. both months have 31 days. Just b/se Augustine was jeles with Juliyes kesar.

If i had a time machine i would ask the person who named them

i learned about this in 7th grade history class but i dont exactly remember what was said. i know it has to do with ancient romans and its based off of their calendar

I have no ideia about that, but must be a strange response for that. regards.

Months of the Year The months of the official calendar year have a name in the formal language of the Empire, and a common name which is usually a shortened form of the "official" one. In some areas where there are strong local dialects, the common name may bear little resemblance to that used elsewhere. There are twelve months of thirty days; the remaining five days of the 365-day year are posted at the High Days of the year: First Day at the beginning of the year is the day that follows the winter solstice; Greening Day is between the third and fourth months, on the spring equinox (more or less); Midsummer's Day is on the summer solstice between the sixth and seventh months; Harvest Day marks the autumn equinox between the ninth and tenth months; and Last Day is the day of the winter solstice. When a leap year is declared, Midsummer's Day is doubled. The months are named after the first twelve dynasties in imperial history. The first month, in formal speech, is called Harin-So. The common name is Harnso. Harin was the dynasty-name of the first family to rule what might be considered the earliest form of the Empire of Lirith Kai. The semi-mythical emperors of the Harin Dynasty have given their names to the days of the week. In most parts of the Empire this month, equivalent to our January, is the coldest of the year. The second month, Morin-So, commonly Mornso, is named after the House of Morinar, which succeeded the last Harin emperor. Equivalent to February, this month is usually a stormy one in the northern parts of the Empire; in the south, planting may begin. The third month, Tiron-So, is Tirnso in common speech. Tiron of the House of Kalanar, various called the Usurper, the Bridge, and the Warlord, had a brief and tempestuous reign between the second and third dynasties. Though denied the dignity of being called a dynasty, Tiron ten Kalanar was remembered when the scholars reorganized the calendar six hundred years ago. To us this would be March; in Adantri tradition the month, like the man it is named for, comes and goes in storm and turmoil. Sinan-So is next, Sanso the people call it, the equivalent of our April. The House of Sinianaris, said to be wholly or in part a non-Adantri lineage, came from the far north to supply the short third dynasty. In the most northern parts of the Empire, this is the month of planting. Lehan-So is the fifth month, Lehnso. The House of Lehan Sun Yar, partly Sendori in its bloodlines, cast out the last Siniaris emperor and was hailed as the Restorer, since they were more Adantri (the Lehans had often married Adantri women) than their predecessors. This fourth dynasty came to an end in a relatively peaceful fashion: the last emperor had twin sons, and he divided his lands between them. One son took the mountain country and established an independent dynasty in the Sendori kingdom with its capital at Korvan Saleh. The other son took the valley of the An-Kiu and became the founder of the fifth dynasty, Emperor Wislen. This month, which matches our May, is usually considered to be the month of "first fruits" in the north, the year's earliest harvest--of some vegetables and more especially of the early berries which a people who have been eating preserved foodstuffs for months will always greet with joy. Wislen-So, Wislo, is the sixth month, in which summer comes. The fifth dynasty took its name from its first emperor, Wislen; the lineage name became Wislenar. The same as June, this month marks the coming of the first real heat of summer. Zilnin-So or Zilnso is the hottest month through most of the Empire. The sixth dynasty began when the last Wislenar emperor's only child, a daughter, married a lord of the House of Zilinin. Zilnso is the equivalent of July. Kuron-So, Kurnso, is the equivalent of August. The Kurons of the seventh dynasty ruled only in the south; they were a sea people who conquered the Delta region and the lands upriver for a short distance and ruled during the last hundred years or so of the northern Zilinin Dynasty. In northern provinces, the harvest season may begin in Kurnso. Gerthin-So or Gerithso, our September, is considered the main harvest month, or at least the beginning of the harvest, throughout most of the Empire. The Gerthinian family of Miroi T'Chi-Chang drove out the Kurons from the southern part of the An-Kiu Valley and later incorporated the northern area into their empire through marriage with a Zilinin daughter. They are called the eighth dynasty. Nilman-So, Nilmaso, October, is the "hunters' month." The Nilminian dynasty also had Miroi T'Chi-Chang as its origin; the manner in which they succeeded the dynasty of the Gerthinians is clouded. Bolan-So, or Bolso, is the next to the last month of the year, our November. The Bol'San, or tenth, dynasty was supplied by the Sendori, the first head of this dynasty claiming his right to rule by virtue of his descent from the twin brother of the earlier Emperor Wislen, founder of the fifth dynasty. The tenth dynasty was a very short one, having only three emperors. Yanin-So the Empire calls the last month, our December, Yenso in the common speech, the month that winds up the year and ushers in the winter. The Yaniarin family married a son to a daughter of the last Bol'San emperor, thus returning the rule of the valley to Adantri hands. The house of Yaniarin of the eleventh dynasty was of Miroi T'Chi-Chang, as many imperial houses have been. There have been other dynasties, numerous ones, but they are not represented here, as twelve months was considered sufficient. In some parts of the Empire, different names are locally applied to the months, but it is unusual for the "official" names to be wholly unknown. In the rural parts of the northern An-Kiu Valley the `Pelang Calendar' is still in use; it is a calendar of thirteen twenty-eight-day months.
