January is for Palindromes: A palindrome is a word that reads the same forwards and backwards. In this case, the very rare surname is from the Estonian language. It's pattern is CVVC rather than VCCV. Can you figure out what that means? Janus was a Roman god so prominent that his visage appeared on a Roman coin and so prominent that he got a month named after him. He looks both ways because he is the god of beginnings and endings. Back he looks at the year that's over and forward to the year that has yet to unfold. Siloam Cemetery. [2017]
