| 1 | Ianuarius | January | Siječanj | month of cutting (wood) |
| 2 | Februarius | February | Veljača | month of changing[dubious — see talk page] |
| 3 | Martius | March | Ožujak | lying month |
| 4 | Aprilis | April | Travanj | month of grass |
| 5 | Maius | May | Svibanj | month of budding |
| 6 | Iunius | June | Lipanj | month of the lipa (lime) tree |
| 7 | Iulius | July | Srpanj | month of reaping (with a sickle) |
| 8 | Augustus | August | Kolovoz | month of driving the wagon (for harvest) - kolo+ voziti |
| 9 | September | September | Rujan | red month (leaves get red before falling) |
| 10 | October | October | Listopad | month of falling leaves list+padati |
| 11 | November | November | Studeni | cold month |
