Autumn is my favourite season, next to winter of course. Seasons offer multitudes of choices when it comes to names, especially autumn. With autumn comes all those beautiful vivid colours, the reds and oranges, and the beautiful names associated with leaves changing colour and floating to the ground. Autumn itself is a beautiful name and one that I personally would like to see more of. In this beautiful country of Australia, autumn runs through from March till the end of May but for many of us we don’t even start to experience perfect autumn weather usually until April, when the other half of the world welcomes Spring.
Here are some autumn inspired names to remind you of your favourite season all year long. My personal favourite is Saffron.
Akie [AH-kee-eh] Girls name of Japanese origin meaning autumn painting.
Amber [AM-ber] Girls name of English origin meaning amber. Amber is a semi precious stone of fossilised tree resin and is orange in colour. The name was popular in the 80's but quickly fell however has seen a comeback in 2007 when it featured in the top 50 in several European countries.
April [AY-pril] Girls name of Latin origin meaning open. April is associated with spring in the northern hemisphere where the 'open' refers to the flowers opening. In the southern hemisphere April falls in autumn and is associated with Easter and falling leaves.
Autumn [OR-tum] Girls name of English origin meaning autumn.
Crimson [KRIM-zun] Girls name of English origin meaning crimson, which is a shade of red.
Edom [E-dom] Boy's name of Hebrew origin meaning red and earth.
Garnett [GAR-nit] Girls and Boys name of Latin origin meaning pomegranate seed. A garnet is a semi precious red stone.
Rory [ROR-ee] Girls and Boys name of Gaelic and English origins meaning red king. For girls, Rory can be a nick name for names such as Aurelia and Aurora
Saffron [SAF-fron] Girls name of English origin with the meaning taken from the name of the spice. Saffron is an orange/yellow coloured spice used to flavour and give colour to several dishes such as paella.
Scarlett [SKAHR-let] Girls name of English origin meaning the colour scarlett. A famous bearer was Scarlett O'hara from Gone With the Wind.
So many lovely names! I love names that give you an earthy "image" such as these- it adds so much more appeal to them. Autumn is so darling but I doubt I'd have the balls to use it. I'm also fond of Amber(and Ember), Akie, Scarlett,Crimson, Garnett, April, Saffron & of course Rory. <3
