Crisp and colorful, Autumn is the most popular season name in the US — the only one in the Top 100 in recent years — though Summer and Winter don't rank too far behind. Cool and gentle at the same time, it also ranks highly in England and Wales. 

One of those unusual names that's been popular for many years without ever feeling wildly overused, Autumn can be considered familiar without being too trendy. It ultimately comes from the Latin autumnus and is associated with harvest, changing leaves, and Halloween, along with the colors orange, red, gold, and yellow.
 
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.
 
Actress Jennifer Love Hewitt named her daughter Autumn James back in 2013, while notable bearers include Royal family member, Autumn Phillips, photographer and film director Autumn de Wilde, and actress, Autumn Reeser.
 
Love Autumn but not its popularity? Try Aurelia, Maple, Auden, Laurel, or Tatum, perhaps. Want rarer still? How about Harvest, Sorrel, or Afton?
