For whatever it might be worth, I found this list of Arabic month names "possibly derived from N.A. VL". I don't know where I found this, but
thought it might be of interest.
yana:'ir
fibra:'ir
ma:ris (variant reading ma:rs or mars)
'abri:l
ma:yu:
yu:niyo: (var: yu:niya)
yu:liyo: (var: yu:liya)
'a*gh*usTus
sabtambir
'okto:bir
nu:fimbir (var: novembir)
disimbir (var: disambir / disembir)
Padraic

Don't forget that some names were different in colloquial Latin: Febrarius, Aprilius, Agustus.
Some Latinisation is possible. In French, you have the regular "août" but the loan "octobre" for earlier "oiteuvre". In Liburnese, I went for radical change: jambarh /dzambaž/, fibrarh, marț /marts/, abrilh, maj, jynh /dzɨɲ/, jylh, agust, sifțàmbri, uchùbri, nuvèmbri, dighàmbri /diǰambri/.
