The Celtic calendar started out as a moon calendar, but was aligned with the solar year during antiquity. Robert Graves proposed the Celtic tree calendar described here. While widely used by Neo-Pagans, many critics dispute the authenticity. The Beth-Luis-Nion calendar (the one used here) starts with New Year on the Winter Solstice. The Beth-Luis-Faern calendar starts with New Year on Samhain.
Each Celtic tree month (or moon) is named for a Celtic Ogham letter (first line above) and a tree (second line above). All of the Celtic months also had additional folk names (folk names for this month listed below).

Roman information
Non. Quin. or Non. Ivl.
the Nones of July
Month: Quintilis or Quinctilis or Ivlivs or Julius
The Nones was originally the first Quarter Moon (half of a moon, a quarter of the lunar cycle) of the month in the early Roman lunar calendar. The Latin word nones meaning “ninth”. When counting days, the Romans included both the start and end day (in the modern West we skip the start day). Using the Roman counting system, there were always nine days (eight using modern counting) between the Nones and the Ids of any month. The actual average time from the lunar First Quarter to the lunar Full Moon is about 7.4 days, but the Romans rounded up. The Nones occurred on the seventh day of March, May, July, and October, and on the fifth day of all other months.
The Roman month of Quintilis (or Quinctilis) is named for quin, because it was originally the fifth month of the Roman solar year. In 45 BCE, the Roman Senate renamed the month Julius (July), for then Roman Emperor Julius Caesar. July was sacred to Jupiter (Ivppiter), Roman King of Gods.
The earliest Roman months were lunar. According to Roman mythology, the ten month solar calendar aligned to the vernal equinox was introduced by Romulus, the founder of Rome, around 753 BCE. In Romulus’ calendar, Quintilis (the fifth month) had 31 days. Numa Pompilius, the second of the seven traditional kings of Rome, added two more months, for a 12 month year. In Numa’s calendar, July had 31 days. Gaius Julius Caesar, as Pontifex Maximus (supreme bridge-builder, a religious title), reorganized the calendar on the first day of 45 BCE. In Caesar’s calendar (the Julian Calendar), July had 31 days. Caesar’s calendar was calculated by Sosigenes, an Egyptian astrologer/astronomer. The Roman Senate changed the name of the month Quintilis to Julius (July) in honor of the Roman Emperor Julius Caesar. In 8 BCE, Augustus Caesar fixed errors by pontiffs after Julius’ death and made other minor modifications, resulting in the modern Western calendar. The modern Gregorian Calendar, named for Roman Catholic Pope Gregory the Thirteenth, was a realignment in 1582.
