An uncommon Latin pick — distinctive and rare.
Obsolete spelling of autumn.
Autum is a girl's baby name of Latin origin, an older spelling variant of Autumn, from the Latin autumnus, the season of harvest and changing leaves. With over 3,300 births in U.S. records, Autum was particularly popular in the 1970s and 1980s as an alternative spelling, and its simplicity gives the seasonal name a more streamlined look — the same golden warmth with one less letter.
Autum was #1770 twenty years ago and has since drifted to #9609, but its charm endures.
