The last 4 months of the year were named from their Latin origins; "septem" for seven, "octo" for eight, "novem" for nine, and "decem" for ten. This was back when there were only ten months of the year instead of twelve i.e. the wintertime was mostly monthless until January and February were added to the calendar.

It comes from the Latin words for seven, eight, nine and ten which are Septem, Octo, Novem and Decem. The ber suffix means month. So "ber" was added to the end of each number to describe the month.

Where did Obama attend school?
12 years (incorrect answer) . Obama attended college for six years. A year at Occidental, then transferred to Columbia for three years to receive his Bachelor's degree. Then, after working as a community-activist for almost six years, he enrolled again at Harvard for just over two years to receive his law degree. (His records while attending Harvard have been sealed at his request.) While it was twelve years between his first enrollment at Occidental and his graduation at Harvard, there was a six year break in between when he did not attend any college.
