September Name Days

The name of September is taken from the Latin septem meaning "seven", so called because it was once the seventh month of the Roman calendar. Originally the year began with March, but later January and February were added, shifting September to the ninth month. For much of the Northern Hemisphere, September is the beginning of Autumn. Originally the season was called Harvest, but we find the term Autumn in use from the 14th century, which eventually took precedence.Indeed, many old European names for September have the meaning of "Harvest month", a notion still reflected in the Finnish name Syyskuu "autumn month". Occasionally "Fall" was used: a term now used in the US but not the UK.
