Etymology
Octombrie comes from Latin october, the eighth month of the old Roman calendar, which began in March. The name is built on octo, meaning eight, even though the month has been the tenth since the calendar reform. Romanian kept the Latin month name almost unchanged, unlike many of its neighbors.
