I'm not exactly sure what october means in latin, but in engish oct is eight.
It is likely that October means the 8th month of the year. On the Calender of the Roman Republic, October was the eighth month and December was the 10 month. March was the first month, when elections were held and armies marched off to war. During the Roman Republic, the months were renumbered so that elections were in January, that provided more fighting months.
So the months were renumbered, but the names remained the same. This is easily seen by looking at the latin roots - September (septem is 7), October (octo is eight), November (novem is 9) and December (decem is 10).
The location of New Years day is another subject and a lot more fun.
