Jovial and Birth Dates
Jupiter, also called Jove, was the chief Roman god
and was considered a majestic, authoritative type
—just the kind of god to name a massive planet like Jupiter for.
Our word jovial comes by way of Middle French
from the Late Latin adjective jovialis,
meaning "of or relating to Jove."
When English speakers first picked up jovial in the late 16th century, it was a term of astrology
used to describe those born under the influence of Jupiter,
which, as a natal planet, was believed to impart joy and happiness.
They soon began applying jovial to folks
who shared the good-natured character of Jupiter,
regardless of their birth date.
Merriam-Webster Dictionary
Jovial
Definition: markedly good-humored
especially as evidenced by jollity and conviviality
Jove (also known as Jupiter) was the name of
the chief god of the ancient Romans,
and served as the Roman equivalent to the Greek god Zeus.
It is somewhat curious that
we should have a word taken directly from his name
which is concerned with jollity and good humor,
as these are not qualities which are typically associated with
a sky-god who is armed with thunderbolts.
When jovial was first used as an adjective
—around the beginning of the 17th century
—it was also occasionally with the sense of "majestic,"
but this meaning has not lasted.
