About January
January is the English name of the first month of the year. The month ultimately takes its name from Janus, the Roman god associated with doors, beginnings and transitions, whose symbolism reflects looking both backward and forward. As a calendar and word name, January has a meaning that is not inherently gendered. Distinctive and evocative, it can work as a gender-neutral name for someone drawn to themes of new beginnings, renewal and the turning of the year.
