Septembern.

Brit. /sɛpˈtɛmbə/, /səpˈtɛmbə/, U.S. /sɛpˈtɛmbər/, /səpˈtɛmbər/
Forms: Old English– September, late Old English Setembre (dative), Middle English Semtembir (perhaps transmission error), Middle English Septembeer, Middle English Septembr, Middle English Septembyr, Middle English Septenbre, Middle English–1500s Septembre; Scottish pre-1700 Semptember, pre-1700 Septembre, pre-1700 1700s– September. Also represented by the abbreviations Sep, Sep., Sept, Sept., VIIber, VIIbre, 7ber, 7br, 7bre.
Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from Latin. Partly a borrowing from French. Etymons: Latin September; French septembre.
Etymology: Originally < classical Latin September (see below); subsequently reinforced by Anglo-Norman and Old French setembre, Anglo-Norman and Old French, Middle French septembre (1119; French septembre ) < classical Latin Septembr- , September , use as noun (short for mēnsis September month of September) of masculine of September of September < septem seven (see septem- comb. form; the seventh month of the year in the ancient Roman calendar) + -ber (also -bris), suffix of uncertain origin, occurring in the names of months. Compare Old Occitan setembre (mid 12th cent.), Catalan setembre (early 13th cent.), Spanish setiembre (end of the 12th cent.), Portuguese setembro (13th cent.), Italian settembre (1211); also Middle Dutch september, setember (Dutch september), Middle High German september (German September), Swedish september (16th cent.).The ancient Roman calendar (dating from around the mid 8th cent. b.c.) had ten months; c713 b.c. January and February were added to the end. In 153 b.c. the beginning of the year was moved to 1 January, when the Roman consuls were elected. This new ordering of the months remained when the Julian calendar was introduced in 45 b.c. and in the Gregorian calendar widely used today. In Old English and Middle English texts Latin September (and variants) is often used for the month (in Old English sometimes alongside the vernacular names Hāligmōnað , Hærfestmōnað harvest month n., and Hærfest harvest n.), e.g.:OE Old Eng. Martyrol. (Julius) Sept. 196 Se monaþ hatte on Leden Septembris, ond on ure geþeode Haligmonaþ.OE Byrhtferð Enchiridion (Ashm.)
