It is Latin for tenth month. Think "decimal". November means ninth month, and September means seventh month. October means eighth month.

Updated answer: December comes from Deshm in Sanskrit which means 10th position or 10th. Sept. comes from the word Septhm which means 7th, Oct comes from the word Aut and Nov. comes from the word Navhm means 9th place.
