It obtained its name from the Latin novem<\/em>, meaning \u201cnine.\u201d Then Julius Caesar changed the calendar and made November the eleventh\u00a0month. The numbers of days in November varied from twenty-nine to thirty-one until Augustus established the number of days at thirty. The chrysanthemum is November\u2019s flower.
