I don't think there's a clear pattern in either case. Janus and Maylis are real names, while Aprilis and Martius are real month names in the Roman Calendar. Janus is a Roman god. Their father is clearly referencing the Roman god Jupiter. Long after descendant Juno Beelzenia is either referencing the real Juno or the month of June derived from said goddess.

Only two of these don't exactly match anything their referencing: Febria and Jupiter (as I suggested earlier, Jupiteir/Jupitare would be more accurate imo).

The others do. From my perspective. That isn't a clear pattern for either months or gods. There's not even a Roman pattern (see Maylis). They all are their own individual case of generally referencing Roman gods/months.

Marchius definitely has obvious ties, as does Martius imo, the actual name of the Roman month. From where I stand, it's a matter of choosing a less Roman spelling vs. a more Roman spelling. Personally, since Maylis is the one current exception in that regard, I stick with Martius.
