nagatsuki is the traditional term for september, regularly it's kugatsu which means "9th month"

nagasaki-shi is a city in south japan and capital of nagasaki-ken its prefecture - there are no areas that are called nakasaki

akatsuki means dawn, saki means cape, naga means long

tsuki can mean moon but it also means month

nagasaki = the long cape

nagatsuki = the long month

here naga is the prefix not the suffix, saki & tsuki are the suffix
