>anyone know?

I do! Ancient civilizations used to denote March as the first month of the calendar year, as it was the "rebirth" period after the winter, the beginning of planting season, etc. Therefore, this would make DECember the tenth month of the year, NOVember the ninth, and AUG(oct)ust the eighth month.

What does September mean in the latin language?

September comes from the Latin root "septe", meaning "Seven". Curiously, several of our months come from Latin numbers, and they're all off by two. "September" for seven, even though that's the 9th month, "October" from "octo" for eight when October is the tenth month, "November" from "nona" for nine, and December from the Roman word for ten, when December is the 12th month. The reason for the disconnect is that the Roman months were numbered that way because the year began around the time of the spring equinox, which is in March.

Information on the Origin of month of October?

The last four months of the year are named after numbers. September (from the Latin for seventh month), October (8th), November (9th), and December (10th). But wait! Isn't October the 10th month? Isn't December the 12th month? Of course they are. These names come from the Latin words (Septimus, Octavus, Nonus, Decimus) but date from a calendar that had only 10 months. Two months named for emperors (Caesar Julius, Caesar Augustus) were inserted into the new "Julian" calendar, leaving us with the word for 8th month attached to our 10th month. Silly? Yes. True? Yes.
