Explanation:

-January is the first month of the year in the Gregorian calendar and has 31 days. It takes its name from the god Janus, represented with two faces, the spirit of the doors and the beginning and the end.

-March is the third month of the year in the Gregorian calendar and has 31 days. Its name derives from the Latin Martius, which was the first month of the Roman calendar. Martius in turn is derived from Mars, the Roman god of war.

-May is the fifth month of the year in the Gregorian calendar and has 31 days; but it was the third month in the ancient Roman calendar, where January and February were at the end of the year.

The origin of its name derives from the Roman goddess Maia, whose festival the Romans celebrated this month they called Maius.

-June (from the Latin Iunius, month of Juno) is the sixth month of the year in the Gregorian Calendar and has 30 days. It was the fourth month in the Roman calendar, where January and February were at the end of the year. It received the name it bears from the goddess Juno.
