August is an English name meaning "exalted, venerable" from the Latin augustus or possibly from the Latin augere meaning "to increase". It is a time of harvest and abundance, symbolizing prosperity and the fruition of hard work. For me, it is vibrant, warm, and welcoming. August isn't autumn in the meteorological calendar but it is for the Celtic calendar! Either way, probably because of the au- it definitely has the aesthetic for me.

The month of August was called Sextilis until the name was changed to honor Augustus Caesar.
