Why having months at all if they don't correspond to moon?

Why have a horsepower if it doesn’t correspond to a horse?
That's why they're trying to make us conversation to kilowatts
In my language 'month' and 'moon' are the same word and some people still don't make the connection. I once had someone ask me, when I was talking about some period of x months in antiquity, if they had months (moons) back then.
Which language?
Not op but Slovak (mesiac), Czech (mesic).
