The names given to the months of the year by English-speaking, Germanic or some other
nations are derived from the names of ancient gods or Roman emperors.
The names of the months in Lithuanian are unique and original. The months of an agricultural
nation are named after natural phenomena or tasks performed at a particular time of the year.
These names are typical of the Lithuanian nation, her nature and the Lithuanian way of life.
