The new Gregorian calendar is supported by the Roman calendar which was written in Latin language so the names of the months which are written in English have the Latin roots.

Earlier the Latin calendar was of 10 month old that used to begin with March.
September used to begin in seventh month.
October was eight month.
July was fifth and was named as Quintilis.
August was the sixth month named Sextilis. Other months were:
Ianuarius (January), Februarius (February), Martius (March), Aprilis (April), Maius (May), and Iunius (June).
