Naming October - The Eighth Month

October is the tenth month of the year in the modern dayGregorian calendar and its predecessor, the Julian calendar. The month kept its original name from the Roman calendar in which octo means “eight” in Latin marking it the eighth month of the year.

October was named during a time when the calendar year began with March, which is why its name no longer corresponds with its placement in the Julian and Gregorian calendars.

• Middle English - octobre
• Latin name - October mensis - eighth month
• Anglo Saxons - Winterfylleth - winter full moon

History of October

October was originally the eighth month of the Roman calendar. It always had a length of 31 days and became the tenth month of the year when King Numa Pompilius reformed the calendar and added the months of January and February around 700 BCE.
