You seem to have some knowledge about the origin of letters. A couple of months ago I posted a link to a youtube video which explains how the months got their names:

This channel has very interesting videos about the ethymological origins of different things. It’s worth watching. Also, there is a video in this channel where the "evolution" of the alphabet is explained.
