What is the meaning of the name Autumn ?

The baby name Autumn is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈɔːtəm/ or /ˈɑːtəm/ (AW-tum).

Autumn is English, Latin in Origin.

Autumn is an English word name for the fall season, ultimately from Latin autumnus, filtered through Old French autompne and Middle English autumpne/autumn(e). The season name conveys harvest, ripening, and change, often associated with warmth, golden foliage, and a reflective, transitional beauty. While the deeper origin of autumnus is debated, it has long been linked to ideas of maturity and abundance.

As a given name, Autumn rose sharply in the late 1960s alongside the wave of nature-inspired choices, and it remains popular in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia - primarily feminine but occasionally unisex. Variants and creative spellings include Autum, Autymn, Autumnne, and Autumnn; the French Automne appears rarely as a given name. Informal nicknames include Autie/Auttie and Tumn. Names related by meaning rather than form include Aki (Japanese, “autumn”) and Sharad (Sanskrit, “autumn season”).
