Origin & history of Autumn
Latin autumnus (autumn/fall)
→ Old French autompne
→ English Autumn
1
Latin / English roots
Autumn comes from the Latin autumnus, which may derive from the Etruscan autu. The word entered English through Old French. Unlike Spring and Summer, which have been used as names for centuries, Autumn is a relatively modern given-name creation, emerging in the 1960s and 70s alongside the nature-name movement. The season has been celebrated in poetry from Keats (To Autumn) to Rilke as the most contemplative and beautiful time of year. Autumn entered the US top 100 in 1997 and has remained there, especially popular among parents whose daughters are born between September and November.
