## Origin

Latin novem ("nine") gave November ("ninth month"), so named because it was the ninth month of the Roman calendar; the name reached English through Old French novembre and Middle English Novembre. It took the place of the Old English blōtmōnaþ ("sacrifice month"), named for the sacrifices the pagan Anglo-Saxons offered in this month before the onset of winter.
