February comes from the Latin word februa, which means “to cleanse.†The month was named after the Roman Februalia, which was a month-long festival of purification and atonement that took place this time of year.

A year, occurring once every four years, which has 366 days including 29 February as an integral day is called a Leap year. 2021 is not a leap year and has 365 days like a common year. It takes approximately 365.25 days for Earth to orbit around the Sun. That is a leap year.
Because Romans believed even numbers to be unlucky, each month had an odd number of days, which alternated between 29 and 31. But, in order to reach 355 days, one month had to be an even number. February was chosen to be the unlucky month with 28 days.
December got its name from the Latin word decem (meaning ten) because it was originally the tenth month of the year in the calendar of Romulus c. 750 BC which began in March. The winter days following December were not included as part of any month.
That number would be a nicely rounded 30 were it not for February. While every month besides the second in the calendar contains at least 30 days, February falls short with 28 (and 29 on a leap year).
