Autum is English in Origin.
Autum is a modern respelling of Autumn, the English vocabulary name for the fall season. The word descends from Latin autumnus, passing through Old French autompne/automne before settling in Middle English as autumn. The season symbolizes harvest, abundance, change, and mellow maturity; in naming, it evokes russet leaves, golden light, and reflective warmth.
Used as a given name in the English-speaking world since the late 19th century on occasion, it surged in the United States from the 1960s–1970s alongside nature names like Summer and Willow. Autum remains far rarer than the standard Autumn; creative variants include Autym, Autymn, Autumne, and Auttum, while nicknames Auti or Auttie appear. Largely feminine but technically unisex, its use concentrates in North America and the UK.
