1. Meaning of the name "Autumn"

Fall is an English vocabulary that identifies one of four seasons. It comes from the Latin autumn and through the old French Autumpne it means plenty of harvest time; The time of collecting crops, probably taken from Islamic auctus, means improvement and strengthening.

Initially autumn was called summer (harvest) in ancient English before being replaced by English autumpne Life in medieval English (around the end of the 14th century) under French influence.

In the UK, fall falls between August and October while in the United States September to November. In Greek Mythology, Demeter is the goddess of seasons. When Zeus stole her daughter, Persephone, and gave her to Hades (the god of the underworld), Demeter worriedly traveled to the four corners of the earth in search of his precious daughter.

Unable to find Persephone, Demeter became so distraught that she stopped producing food on earth. To save the dying world and the starving people, Zeus sent Hermes (the messenger angel) to get Persephone from Hades.

Hades agreed to let her go providing she didn’t eat any food in the underworld; but the girl unwittingly ate some pomegranate seeds just prior to her release. As a result, she was forced to return to the underworld for four months of the year.

Traditionally, Persephone returned to Earth in the fall, winter and spring, but returned to Hades in the summer (when plant life did not flourish and suffer drought). As a name given to women, Autumn has only been around since the 1960s. It's most popular in the United States, but is also used with respectable frequency in Canada and the UK.
