December is derived from the Latin word 'decem', meaning ten. It was originally used to denote the tenth month of the Roman calendar. However, following the implementation of the Gregorian calendar in the 16th century, December became the twelfth and final month of the year, marking the beginning of winter in many regions. The name December is associated with festivity and joy, as it coincides with popular celebrations such as Christmas and New Year's Day.
