    These names of month come from the numerical meaning?
    I guess "元" means something like "initial", it's related
    with the idea of the order, but slightly different from
    numerical ONE. How about "圓月"?

    Most Japanese names of the months (see http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%9C%88_%28%E6%9A%A6%29)
    don't come from the numerical nor ordering meaning.
