The February name history
The Roman month was called Februarius which was named after the Latin term februum, which means purification as there would be a purification ritual Februa held on February 15 (which was a full moon) in the old lunar Roman calendar. January and February were the last two months to be added to the Roman calendar, as Romans originally discounted winter as a monthless period. They were added by Numa Pompilius in about 713 BC. However, February was the last month of the calendar year until the time of the decemvirs (c. 450 BC), when it became the second month.
The birth flower of February is the violet (Viola) and the primrose (Primula vulgaris). The birthstone of February is amethyst which symbolizes piety, humility, spiritual wisdom, and sincerity.
