NAME OF THE DAY: Harvest

The name ๐Ÿ“›Harvest is from the word 'harvest' meaning: "the gathering of crops" —  "from Old English hรฆrfest—  and is transferred use of the surname Harvester๐Ÿ“›.

Harvest has been used as a first name since the 18th century and started off as a unisex name, Nameberry explains, "in the US data for last year was starting to lean more female, given to 29 girls and 11 boys." Behind the Name however states, "SSA data also shows that Harvest is used as a boy's name 53% of the time." ๐Ÿค” The states where there are the most Harvests are in ๐Ÿ“California and ๐Ÿ“D.C.

I love the name ๐Ÿ“›Harvest. ๐Ÿฅฐ I think it's a gorgeous name and I never knew it is used for a first name until recently. ๐Ÿ˜ฎ I prefer Harvest ๐Ÿ’—more for a girl's name but I see why Harvest ๐Ÿ’™ can be unisex and for a boy — because it looks/sounds similar to the name ๐Ÿ“›Harvey

๐Ÿ“›Harvest made Nameberry's ๐Ÿ‚Autumn Names๐Ÿ“› ๐Ÿ“ƒlist of and is described as: "pleasantly archaic, rich and ripe." ⌛๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ‡

NAME OF THE DAY: October

๐ŸŽ‰Happy October! Today is the beginning of the month (my favorite month ๐ŸŽƒ) and therefore I will talk about the name ๐Ÿ“›October ๐Ÿงก

October: "is the tenth month by our Gregorian calendar and is from the Latin octo and Greek okto, meaning “eight.” October was the eighth month of the year rather than the tenth as it is today. The Roman calendar was only ten months long and included the following months: Martius, Aprilis, Maius, Junius, Quintilis, Sextilis, September, October, November, and December. As you can see, January and February hadn’t been added to the calendar yet! Like its neighboring months September, November, and December, the month of October kept its numerical name, even after Julius Caesar expanded the calendar year from 10 months to 12. The use of October increased after the Norman invasion of 1066, eventually replacing the Old English vernacular term Winterfylleรฐ (“Winter full moon”)," Dictionary.com explains

On October being used as a first name, Nameberry asks, "What is so rare as a month named June? October – and November and December – are a lot rarer. Brisk and substantial, they're so much more memorable and modern than April or May." 

October is not unanimously seen as a unisex name but both baby boys and girls use it. Although, My Name Stats claims according to SSA data, usually October is used as a girl's name 100% of the time. The most Octobers can be found fittingly in ๐Ÿ“Massachusetts, followed by Rhode Island. October also is a surname. ๐Ÿ“›

October is one of my favorite first names ๐Ÿ˜   as in ๐Ÿ†"Top 10 Favorite Names"๐Ÿ“›๐Ÿ“ƒI love it so much! ๐Ÿฅฐ It's a name I definitely wish ✨ I had if I could have been born with a name other than my own. ๐Ÿ˜ญ I actually knew an October in my college years and I was beyond in awe ๐Ÿ˜ฎ at her name, envious too. ๐Ÿ˜Š I remembering going up to her after or before class one day and inquiring about her unique name. ๐Ÿง When she said her grandmother was named October too I was really wowed! ๐Ÿคฏ

๐Ÿ“›October is an outstanding ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿพ really rare first name (I prefer it more so for a girl๐Ÿ’—). I doubt October will ever be a popular name month ๐Ÿ™ but that's part of the appeal — and that makes it even more mysterious and cool ๐Ÿ˜Ž (when given to a ๐Ÿ’™boy) to have as one's name. ๐Ÿ˜
