Interesting how many (mostly Slavic) countries adopted the Roman calendar but decided to use their own names. I would assume that in the earlier Slavic calendars the months wouldn't begin on the same days, even if they had months as such.
With Polish for example, we have 2 month that are currently named after Roman calendar, even thought all 12 of our months used to have their own names
Poland is the Iceland of calendar units
