Etymology

Via Old French "calendier" from Latin "calendarium" (account book). The Latin word is named after calendae , the first day of the month, at which the interest was paid, which in turn derives from calare (to announce solemnly, to call out), from an Indo-European base *kel- .

The spelling with 'a' in English is to distinguish the word from calender .
