By comparing changes and phenomena in the world around us with certain periods of time, people have learned to measure the passage of time. Changing the day and night, changing the phases of the moon, changing the temperature and weather conditions of the environment, increasing and decreasing the length of the day and night. Thus, the calendar appeared in the history of mankind. And, being a man-made child of mankind, it was modified, developing along with the development of civilizations.
Ancient calendar
Modern calendar
A calendar is a system of organizing days for social, religious, commercial or administrative purposes. This is done by giving names to periods of time, typically days, weeks, months and years. A date is the designation of a single, specific day within such a system. A calendar is also a physical record (often paper) of such a system.
Periods in a calendar (such as years and months) are usually, though not necessarily, synchronized with the cycle of the sun or the moon. The most common type of pre-modern calendar was the lunisolar calendar, a lunar calendar that occasionally adds one intercalary month to remain synchronized with the solar year over the long term.
Lunisolar calendar
Etymology
The term calendar is taken from calendae , the term for the first day of the month in the Roman calendar, related to the verb calare “to call out", referring to the "calling" of the new moon when it was first seen. Latin calendarium meant "account book, register" (as accounts were settled and debts were collected on the calends of each month).The Latin term was adopted in Old French as calendier and from there in Middle English as calender by the 13th century (the spelling calendar is early modern).

Conclusion
In this study, we considered:
– the history of the origin of the calendar, finding out what the word "Calendar" means, that they reflect the culture and beliefs of different peoples. Their change was influenced by the increase in human knowledge about the world around us, as well as the development of various religions.
– the origin of the names of days of the week and months in English and revealed what the word "Calendar" means, as appeared;
– we learned what the name of each month means and that the names of the days of the week in English have not only pagan roots, but are also associated with changes in the phases of the moon.
Thank you for your attention!
