The name for our month July comes from the Latin mensis Iulius, the month named to honor Julius Caesar after his assassination in 44 BC. Originally the month was named Quintilis because it was the fifth month in the original Roman calendar (year of Romulus). It was a ten-month calendar based on agriculture, and until 153 BC, March was the first month of the year.
