A etimologia da palavra "calendário" é bem interessante. Segundo a infopédia portuguesa,
A palavra calendário provém da palavra etrusca calendes que designava o primeiro dia do mês entre os Romanos. Para este povo, o calendarium era um livro de contas dado que estas se pagavam no início de cada mês.
The origin of the word calendar is quite interesting. According to the wikipedia:
The term calendar itself is taken from the calends, the term for the first day of the month in the Roman calendar, related to the verb calare "to call out", referring to the calling or the announcement that the new moon was just seen. Latin calendarium meant "account book, register", as accounts were settled and debts were collected on the calends of each month.
