Autumn

Autumn takes its name directly from the season — the word itself coming through Old French automne from Latin autumnus, whose origins may trace to Etruscan. Autumn is the season of golden light, falling leaves, harvest warmth, and that particular quality of beauty that comes with transition. As a name it has been used for girls since the late twentieth century and carries all of the season's richness — warmth, color, a gentle melancholy, and undeniable beauty.

Autumn is a name with real depth and seasonal beauty to it — it evokes a particular quality of light and warmth, the kind that makes everything look golden and more significant than it seemed before. Companions named Autumn often have that same quality: a warmth that deepens over time, a beauty that reveals itself more fully with familiarity. The name works especially beautifully for pets with warm, amber, or russet coloring, though any companion with a gentle, unhurried grace can carry it perfectly. Rich, warm, and quietly magnificent.
