The name October comes from the Latin word ‘octo’ meaning ‘eight’, (as in octopus). Originally October was the eighth month of the year until January and February were added which pushed it back to number 10.
October’s birthstone is opal and its flower is cosmos.

opal and cosmos? Interesting: these are my wife’s favourites! But don’t tell her! LOL
