In the ancient Roman calendar, October was the name of the eighth month of
the year. Its name comes from octo,
the Latin word for “eight.” When the
Romans converted to a 12-month
calendar, they tried to rename this month
after various Roman emperors,
but the name October stuck.
In Old England, the month was called Winmonath, which means “wine
month,” for this was the time of year when wine was made. The English also
called it Winterfylleth, or “Winter Full Moon.” They considered October’s full
Moon—on the 8th this year—to be the start of winter.
In weather lore, we note, “If October brings heavy frosts and winds, then will
January and February be mild.” Source: The Old Farmer's Almanac
