Januario

If the new year has brought you a new arrival, why not celebrate by naming them Januario? A masculine name, Januario is the Spanish form of the Latin title Januarius, which simply means “January.” As the first month of the Gregorian calendar, January was named for Janus, the Roman god of all beginnings, transitions, portals, and time. If little Januario ever feels overwhelmed by how quickly life seems to change and shift, you can remind them that every change is just another opportunity for them to grow, learn, and experience new things. By the time baby’s January birthday comes around, they’ll have plenty of reasons to throw a party!
