November: [13] The ancient Romans calculated the beginning of their year from March. Hence they named their ninth month novembris or november mēnsis. November and novembris were derivatives of Latin novem ‘nine’.
November
c. 1200, from Old French novembre and directly from Latin November (also Novembris (mensis)), from novem "nine" (see nine). The ninth month of the Roman calendar, which began in March.

In Old English, it was Blotmonae "month of sacrifice," literally "blood-month," the time when the early Saxons prepared for winter by sacrificing animals, which they then butchered and stored for food.
