Croatian (hr) veljača
February

The etymology of this word isn't clear. Croatian Wikipedia says the name may come from the fact days are longer, that is, bigger (velji) in this month (also see the Croatian dialectal verb "oveljiti" - to make longer, elongate).

The Croatian Language Portal (hrvatski jezični portal) claims it may come from the verb "valjati" (to roll), since the weather constantly varies, changes (rolls?) in this month;

while the "LearnCroatian" blog claims it might have come from the Slavic pagan holiday "velja noć" which apparently occured at that time.
