It happens I have been growing up in a peasantly area where the people
even today use these names. Of course this is not enough for someone
who learned to verify the sources thus you need something oficialy
recognised. Go please to this adress which belongs to the Rom. Ortodox
Church and they have all them there:
http://www.sfantacruce.org/Calendar-Ortodox.htm
Maybe of interest should be the etimology of the "new" names aka via
which
language entered these the Rom. Lang. The etymologies of the old names
are
maybe of more interest but I don't touch them now .
Gerar - Ianuarie ( < Slavic ijanuarij)
F�urar - Februarie ( < Latin februarius)
M�rtsishor - Martie ( < Slavic martiI )
Prier - Aprilie ( < Slavic aprilI)
Florar - Mai ( < Slavic maI)
Cireshar - Iunie ( < Slavic IjunI)
Cuptor - Iulie ( < Slavic IjulI)
Gustar - August ( < Latin augustus)
R�pciune - Septembrie ( < NeoGreek septemvrios)
Brum�rel - Octombrie ( < Slavic oktovrii )
Brumar - Noiembrie ( < Slavic nojenbrI, nojenvri)
Undrea - Decembrie ( < Latin decembris)
