Happy Fall!🍂 Today is the start of Fall season aka Autumn, so I will be diving into the name 📛Autumn 🍁
The word autumn "comes from the French autompne, from the Latin autumnus, whose deeper roots are obscure. It’s first recorded in English as early as the late 1300s—notably, both Chaucer and Shakespeare used it in their works. Today, speakers of American English commonly use both fall and autumn to refer to the season, though fall became more common in the US by the late 1800s. Speakers of British English largely use autumn or the autumn season," according to Dictionary.com
Autumn as a first name has been, "Given to a handful of girls every year since the 1910s — though US records show it has been used since the 1870s — it began to grow more popular in the 50s and 60s, before entering the mainstream in the 70s. In a recent year, it was given to over 3000 girls in the US," Nameberry says. Autumn was #79 on the Most Popular Baby Names list in 2024. Nameberry thinks it has, "been popular for many years without ever feeling wildly overused, Autumn can be considered familiar without being too trendy."
Behind the Name's opinion poll on Autumn finds some to believe the name to be "strange" just like Nameberry calls it "unusual." I personally don't find Autumn to be peculiar at all. What I do find weird is supposedly 
sunny California is the state where most Autumns live. 🤔 However in Utah, 22.79 in every 100,000 Utahns are named Autumn. Michigan also has a 98th percentile rank for Autumn.
I have always loved the name 📛Autumn. I think it's a sophisticated name. It's my favorite season name (followed by Summer, Winter and Spring) to be used for a first name. It's a beautiful name and I feel it's on the road to becoming a classic name even. With it being in the top 100 baby girl names, I don't think that's a stretch — 📛Autumn is an ageless name that won't be going out of style anytime soon.
