History of the Months
The month originated from the Moon's roughly 29.5-day orbital cycle (a 'lunation'), used by many ancient calendars. The Gregorian calendar (1582), used internationally today, decoupled month lengths from the actual lunar cycle to fit 12 months evenly into the solar year, producing the familiar unequal 28-31 day months.
