November >>
Gregorian Calendars, the fourth and last of four months to have a length of 30 Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa
days and the fifth and last of five months to have a length of fewer than 31 1 2 3 4 5 6
days. November was the ninth month of the calendar of Romulus c. 750 BC. 7 8 9 10 11 12 13
November retained its name (from the Latin novem meaning "nine") when 14 15 16 17 18 19 20
January and February were added to the Roman calendar. November is a 21 22 23 24 25 26 27
month of late spring in the Southern Hemisphere and late autumn in the
28 29 30
Northern Hemisphere. Therefore, November in the Southern Hemisphere is
the seasonal equivalent of May in the Northern Hemisphere and vice versa. In 2021
Ancient Rome, Ludi Plebeii was held from November 4–17, Epulum Jovis
was held on November 13 and Brumalia celebrations began on November 24. These dates do not
correspond to the modern Gregorian calendar.

November was referred to as Blōtmōnaþ by the Anglo-Saxons. Brumaire and Frimaire were the months on
which November fell in the French Republican Calendar.
