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: Tennis
The game of tennis is thought to have originated in Italy, but it was codified and found its earliest popularity in France. When the ball was served, the player would call tenez, meaning "get this", from the verb tenir, "to take, to have". When the sport was introduced to England, the English changed its pronounciation and spelling.
