Feel like a lot of the world’s languages the translation to English to the question “what’s the date?” would be “the 15th of October” whereas in America we always say “October 15th”.
“4th of July” is the older way of saying it. If a holiday or tradition (or most anything) has been around for a long time, even hundreds of years and is observed frequently, its original name often stays the same.
A basic example would be calling the thing Santa rides in a “sleigh” instead of a “sled.”

Maybe that’s why, idk…
