November was originally the 9th month as latin word for 9 indicates?

November was not originally the 9th month. The Latin word for nine is "novem," and the name November comes from that word. However, November was not always the 9th month.

In the early Roman calendar, the year began in March, and November was the 9th month. However, in 153 BC, the Roman Senate changed the calendar and made January the first month of the year. This change meant that November was no longer the 9th month but the 11th month.
