Etymology
la :af Octōber -ius Octōbrius
From la Octōber, with the ending modified to -ius, which seems to have been introduced by analogy from the names of the other months, such as la Iānuārius, la Mārtius, la Iūlius, etc. Compare la Septembrius, la Novembrius, la Decembrius. These innovative forms in -brius for Classical Latin -ber are rarely attested in antique written Latin (there is an example of Decembrius in the 6th century1983 Kramer Johannes Etyma romanischer Wörter in griechischen Papyrusurkunden Zeitschrift für Papyrologie und Epigraphik 51 120), but Kramer 1983 argues that it is likely the earlier-attested Koine Greek grc Σεπτέμβριος, grc Ὀκτώβριος, grc Νοέμβριος, grc Δεκέμβριος were taken from popular Latin spoken forms in -ius, rather than having their endings independently remodeled in Greek.https://books.google.com/books?id=uNXBEAAAQBAJ&pg=PA314 314 Latin Loanwords in Ancient Greek: A Lexicon and Analysis Eleanor Dickey 2023 Month names in -brius are attested in writing from Medieval Latin onwards, sometimes in texts that may have drawn on Eastern sources (such as the Laterculus Malalianus, based in part on the grc Χρονογραφία of John Malalas).
