The eighth month
Derived from the Latin word 'octo' meaning eight, as it was the eighth month in the early Roman calendar. While typically spelled with a 'c' in English, the 'k' spelling reflects the German and Dutch forms of the month name. It is used as a rare seasonal name for children born in the autumn.
