التقويم الغربي

Arabic

Etymology

Literally “the Western calendar”, as opposed to اَلتَّقْوِيم اَلشَّرْقِيّ (at-taqwīm aš-šarqiyy, “the Eastern, i.e. Julian, calendar”), due to its being used by the western churches, particularly the Catholic Church, and despite the fact that both calendars are western, namely Roman, in origin.

Proper noun

اَلتَّقْوِيم اَلْغَرْبِيّ • (at-taqwīm al-ḡarbiyy) m

  1. the Gregorian calendar
