In ancient Roman religion and myth, Janus ( ; ) is the god of beginnings, gates, transitions, time, duality, doorways, passages, frames, and endings. He is usually depicted as having a double-sided head. The month of January is named for Janus (Ianuarius). According to ancient Roman farmers' almanacs, Juno was mistaken as the tutelary deity of the month of January, but Juno is the tutelary deity of the month of June.
Janus was the ancient Roman god of beginnings, endings, transitions, and doorways, typically shown with two faces looking in opposite directions. The month of January takes its name from him, reflecting his association with new beginnings and the passage of time.

ヤーヌス(ヤヌス Janus)は、ローマ神話の出入り口と扉の守護神。前と後ろに反対向きの2つの顔を持つのが特徴の双面神である。物事の内と外を同時に見ることができる。表現上、左右に別々の顔を持つように描く場合もある。一年の終わりと始まりの境界に位置し、1月を司る神である。 入り口の神でもあるため、物事の始まりの神でもあった。1月の守護神であるのは、1月が入り口であり、年の始まりでもあったためである。それから来て、過去と未来の間に立つという説明もする。その役割は、日本の年神によく似ているが、直接の関連性はない。 他の著名な神と異なりギリシア神話にはヤーヌスに相当する神はいない。英語で1月をいうJanuaryの語源(ヤーヌスの月)でもある。 土星の第10衛星ヤヌスのエポニムである。
