gregorian
The term "Gregorian" typically refers to something that relates to Pope Gregory XIII or the reforms, particularly the calendar reform (known as the Gregorian calendar), initiated by him in the late 16th century. The Gregorian calendar, which is internationally the most widely used civil calendar, was introduced to rectify the errors in the previously used Julian calendar, mainly concerning the precise calculation of Easter. The Gregorian chant, another example, is a form of plainchant used in the Roman Catholic Church that was named after Pope Gregory I.
