September was the seventh month of the Roman calendar and the Anglo-Saxons referred to as it ‘gerst monarth‘ which suggests Barley Month. The first of the month is the beginning of meteorological autumn. Astronomically, Autumn would not start till the equinox on the twenty third.
The phrase autumn comes from Latin Autumnus and it is use dates again to the C14. Within the USA it is named fall and each autumn and fall have been used on this nation again within the C17. I’m wondering why we modified to simply utilizing Autumn?

Hip! Hip! Hip! for the harvest residence,
Now we have taken the final load residence,
I ripped my shirt and I teared my pores and skin,
To get my masters harvest in.
