In Latin, septem means "seven" and septimus means "seventh"; September was in fact the seventh month of the Roman calendar until 153 BC, when the first month changed from Kalendas Martius (1 March) to Kalendas Januarius (1 January).

Titera's Tidbit: 7-Eleven
In 1927, an employee at the Southland Ice Company in Dallas, Texas, began to sell bread, milk, and eggs on Sundays and at night when regular grocery stores were closed. He named the impromptu store "Tote'm". Southland went on to establish other stores in Texas, open from 7am to 11pm, and renamed those stores to reflect those expanded hours in 1946. The name remains, even though most 7-Eleven stores are now open around the clock.
