[Facts] Re: Meaning of Christian
You are confusing meaning with association. Christian the name and Christian the word are one and the same; and in some versions of Christianity Jesus was not born in December.

Hello Anneza, I understand you. But the period of birth often is the motive of the chosen name, like Pascal, born or baptized around Easter, Noel and Natali and Christian born or baptized around Christmas

Oh, certainly: it would be surprising to find a girl named June who was born in November! Doesn't quite work for May, though: perhaps because it also exists as a nickname.

Well...My sister April was born in May, actually.
