If Septem means seven and Membri means month, why do we call the 9th month "September"?

Asked by crazyivan (4501points) September 9th, 2010

I always thought it was a byproduct of Julius Caesar inserting himself into the calander but as it turns out this odd tidbit predates even the Julian calendar. Why have we not fixed this? (In case you haven’t notived, October means 8th month, November means 9th month and December means 10th month)
