Months :: September
What's in a Name?
The name September comes from the old Roman word 'septem', meaning seven, because in the Roman calendar it was the seventh month. The Romans associated Vulcan, god of the fire and forge, with the month of September and therefore expected September to be associated with fires, volcanic eruptions and earthquakes.
The Anglo-Saxons called September Gerst monath, meaning Barley month, because it was the time when they harvested barley to be made into barley brew. It was also called Haefest monath, or Harvest month.
