September

Meaning of September

September is a feminine name of Latin origin, stemming from septem—“seven” in reference to its position in the early Roman calendar. Its precise etymology and calendar-based construction impart analytical clarity, aligning with autumnal associations of harvest and measured transition rather than overt whimsy. In U.S. newborn data, September has held a modest yet consistent profile: 21 girls received the name in 2024, placing it at 929th, with historical inflections such as an 819th rank in 1992 and a series of low-800s positions in the mid-2000s. Pronounced /səmˈtɛmbər/ in English, its technical simplicity makes it unlikely to dominate kindergarten attendance sheets yet positions it as a distinctive seasonal marker in name-selection spreadsheets.
