Autumn
Meaning of Autumn
Autumn, she whispers her Latin birthname “autumnus” like a silk scarf drifting through a Roman piazza at dusk, and the world hears not just a season but a story—one of burnished leaves pirouetting over Tuscan vineyards, of pumpkin–spiced laughter and wood-smoke kisses that linger on sweaters. To bestow this name is to wrap a child in the warm glow of the harvest moon, promising balance between summer’s fire and winter’s hush, a gentle reminder that change can be breathtaking rather than brisk. In the United States, parents have gathered to her amber-lit charm ever more eagerly since the flower-child days of the late 1960s, so that by today she dances comfortably within the nation’s Top-100, proof that her quiet grace is, like good olive oil and laughter at a family table, timeless. And if someone wonders how to call her home, simply let “AW-tuhm” roll off the tongue—it falls softly, like the very first leaf of October, with just enough playful crunch to make even the most stoic nonna smile.
