That's essentially how the Roman calendar was named for six out of the 10 months:

  • Martius: (Mars)
  • Aprilis: (from aperire, "to open")
  • Maius: (Maia, goddess)
  • Junius: (Juno, goddess)
  • Quintilis: (Fifth)
  • Sextilis: (Sixth)
  • September: (Seventh)
  • October: (Eighth)
  • November: (Ninth)
  • December: (Tenth)
