July, named for Julius Caesar, is the seventh month of the year. July was originally named Quintillis (Latin = five) as the fifth month in the ancient Roman calendar, before January and February became the first and second months of the calendar year during the time of the decemvirs (a commission of ten men to write up a code of law defining the principles of Roman administration), about 450 BC.
