Meaning and history
October is an English unisex name taken from the month. The month’s name comes from Latin october, based on octo, “eight,” because it was originally the eighth month of the early Roman calendar before January and February were positioned ahead of it. As a personal name it belongs to the tradition of calendar names such as April, May, and August. Notable real-life bearers are uncommon, and its cultural significance is primarily seasonal and calendrical.
