November is the eleventh month of the year in the Gregorian Calendar, with 30 days. From the Latin novem for "nine" (it was originally the ninth month of the year, before January and February were inserted).
In Ireland November 1 is regarded as the first day of Winter.
November 1 is called November Day(Lá Samhna) in Celtic tradition and is thus named in the Irish Calendar, where the month is called Mí na Samhna
American Federal elections are held on the Tuesday after the first Monday of November in even-numbered years. They therefore fall between November 2 and November 8.
The Americans celebrate Thanksgiving holiday on the fourth Thursday of November.
