"Sept" is an extraction of the latin word for "seven". September was the seventh month in the ancient ten-month calendar. Some of the months were named for the gods, e.g., January for Janus, March for Mars, June for Juno. Some of the months were named with extractions of the latin words for their numerical order in the ten-month year, e.g., October for eight, November for nine, December for ten. The Roman caesars added July, in honor of Julius Caesar, and August, in honor of Caesar Augustus, resulting in our current twelve-month calendar.
