Decembrie comes from Latin December, from decem, meaning ten, because December was the tenth month in the old Roman calendar that started in March. Romanian adopted this Latin-based name in the 19th century, replacing an older Slavic-derived term for the month. The same Latin root gives most Romance and many other European languages their word for December.
