The word Janitor comes from the Latin word “Ianua” (no J’s in Latin) meaning door. A “Ianitor” was someone who guarded a door. You can see why we still use that term today for someone who works as a custodian.

The Roman god Janus was named after the door, not the other way around. The month January was named after the god Janus, but it was named after him because of his connection to the word door in Latin and the symbolic nature of doors as the entrance into something.
