Heart of the Nation (CATHOLIC MASS) shares this thought,

Lord, may Your patient attentiveness
guide me always in how to live,
helping me to imitate Your love
because I have your love to give.

Celebrate finding heavenly treasure. (Matthew 13)

I always heard that the month of July, was named after Julius Caesar. And my source confirms it---the month being renamed in his honor (it was once Quintilis (literally "Fifth"), the fifth month of the year that began in March) after his death & deification.

Julius--whose name's wordroot means "to Shine (like the Sky, Heaven, God)"--was born in that month.

This is my first time of hearing secret behind July but I celebrate God for his Mercy and compassion over everybody and everything.

Interesting, I didn't know Julius had that origin.
The first results gave me "devoted to Jove/Jupiter" but it doesn't make much of a difference. It's always that "Ju" you'd get from reading YHWH with no extra vowels. For some unknown reason I think that's the correct way to pronounce that name, not Yahweh nor Jehovah, but Y(o)u.
And yeah, Jove/Jupiter is the god of the skies.

I should add that name to the list of baby names I'd use, though here Giulio/Giulia is already a very common name.
It reminds me more of jolly, like merry. Or even the French joli/jolie (pretty). These words have supposedly another root, more German, strange stuff.

I knew that the month of July owes its name to Julius Caesar because this Emperor was born in the month of July.
The month of August honors the Roman Emperor Caesar Augustus, this month even gained an extra day to match the one dedicated to Julius Caesar, July.

Weirdest thing: on a common search, I looked up 'Hebrew yhwh" (thinking it'd give me the Hebrew of 'that tetragrammaton'"); and the top five images (on the main search) were all of "the esoteric pentagram"

Oh---if I clicked on any one of those, it took me to a bunch of 'tetragrammaton'-images (along with this picture that shows the original 'hieroglyphics' behind the letters);

but ... weird ...

And I hadn't known that HAND - BEHOLD! - NAIL - BEHOLD! meaning. I'd always heard (when they spell it out), 'Yod, Hah, Vav, Hah.'

Weird indeed, but it's cool to see how characters evolved. Thanks for sharing!
I wouldn't have never guessed the Yod was a hand. Vav still looks like a nail.
