Etymology

The word "November" originates from the Latin novem, meaning "nine," as it was the ninth month in the ancient Roman calendar. The suffix -ber is a marker for month names (shared with September, October, and December). Despite calendar reforms shifting November to the eleventh position, its name retained its historical numerical root.
