The prefix hept- comes from Greek "hepta" and means "seven." The prefix "sept- comes from the Latin "septem," which means "seven."

The correct English name for a 7-sides polygon is "heptagon."

Those who do not understand that English polygon names are derived from Greek, not from Latin, sometimes incorrectly name a 7-sided polygon as a septagon.
