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: Raccoon
In 1608, the English explorer and colonist Captain John Smith published a book called A True Relation, in which he recorded the Algonquian languages of Virginia. He listed one creature, unknown to the Old World, with several spellings: rahaugcum, raugroughcm, and raughroughcums. Revising the book in 1611, Smith added yet another spelling: rarowcun. Not until 1672 did the modern spelling become current.
