Answer 1FebMar (1)Apr (2)May (3)Jun (4)Jul (5)Aug (6)Sept (7)Oct (8)Nov (9)Dec (10)The ancient Roman Calender started in March and as you can see this means the Roman Months names Sept, Oct, Nov, Dec, make much more sense. (the other months were squeezed in later)._________________________________________________Answer 2Septem does indeed mean seven and octo does indeed mean eight.That means, logically, September should be the seventh month instead of the ninth and October should be the eight month instead of the tenth.Similarly, decem is Latin for "ten", yet December is the twelfth month.In the past, September WAS the 7th month and October WAS the 8th month (and December was the 10th month), up until 45BC.Julius Caesar, the dictator of the Roman Empire, tried to fix the somewhat broken calendar of his time, because it didn't fit too well with the seasons. So, Caesar came up with and enforced a new calendar. It was called the Julian Calendar, aside from altering how many days were in some of the existing months, it also introduced two new months at the start of the year, January and February. Before then, March was the first month of the year.Adding two new months meant that the ones below were pushed downwards. Therefore September became the 9th month and October became the 10th month.To celebrate this "amazing feat", the Roman Senate voted to name one of the months after Caesar. Hence the month called Quintilis (quintus means "five" in Latin, as it used to be the 5th month) was renamed Julius, later becoming July.Later on, the month called Sextillus (sex means "six" in Latin) was renamed Augustus, as an honour to Caesar's grand-nephew of the same name. Augustus later became August.Other Roman Emperors did in fact try to rename the other months, because their Latin number names made no sense any more (and some months were named after Gods no longer worshipped. March = Mars and April = Aphrodite).Maius (May) was changed to Claudius and Aprilis (April) was changed to Neronius, for example, but they didn't stick and only lasted a short time. The only months named after Roman emperors that stuck and are still used today are July and August.Before 45BC the calendar was:MartiusAprilisMaiusJuniusQuintilisSextilisSeptemberOctoberNovemberDecember.From 45BC the calendar was:JanuariusFebruariusMartiusAprilisMaiusJuniusJuliusAugustusSeptemberOctoberNovemberDecember.

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.
