Etymology
The name 'August' is derived from Latin 'Augustus', which means 'great' or 'venerable'. Augustus was the title bestowed upon Gaius Octavius by the Roman Senate in 27 BC when he became the first Roman emperor. The month of Sextilis was renamed August in his honor. August was traditionally the sixth month in the Roman calendar, and its name reflects its historical importance. Over time, the month has become associated with summer activities in the Northern Hemisphere and winter in the Southern Hemisphere, reflecting the shift in seasons. The adoption of the Gregorian calendar further solidified the month as the eighth month of the year.
