Three months named after Roman Gods

Three months named after Roman Gods in Gregorian calendar:

March: Mars (Roman god of war)

May: Maia Maiestas (Roman goddess)

June: Juno (Roman goddess, wife of Jupiter)

Are there more?

The Gregorian calendar was introduced by Pope Gregory XIII, after whom the calendar was named, by a decree signed on 24 February 1582.

The motivation for the Gregorian reform was that the Julian calendar assumes that the time between vernal equinoxes is 365.25 days, when in fact it is about 11 minutes less. The error between these values was about 10 days, accumulated at the rate of about three days every four centuries, resulting in the equinox occurring on March 11 and moving steadily earlier in the calendar, by the time of the reform. Since the equinox was tied to the celebration of Easter, the Roman Catholic Church considered that this steady movement was undesirable.
