In my humble opinion, Fall is the most beautiful season of the year. Crimson and umber leaves, pumpkin spice lattes, boots, and nippy weather. What’s not to love?
And giving birth to a Fall baby? Even better! My second daughter was a fall baby and you’d better believe that I extensively researched every autumn baby name I could find. If you’re a fall-lover like me, I hope you enjoy these fall baby names as much as I do! Just to make the process a little easier, I also included the baby name meanings as well as their origins.

Hazel
I don’t know about you, but when I hear the name Hazel, I think of hazelnut lattes, candles, and warmth.
Hemingway
You might think this is a stretch, but I think this is a definitely a baby name pertaining to the fall. Fall is the perfect time to cozy up and read a classic book. Naming your baby after your favorite author (Poe, Hemingway, Shakespeare) can add a special warmth.

Jasper comes in many colors, but most popularly the rich ochre and burnt orange tones of october.
Jorah

Leif
This is a bit on the nose, I’ll admit, but it’s so cute! Leif is Scandinavian for heir or descendant. Taken literally, of course, it’s so appropriate.
Luna
The harvest moon is a critical component of the season (and especially Halloween). Luna is a timeless, beautiful name that every little girl can appreciate.
Kasper
Dutch version of Jasper, this “hauntingly” familiar name is a nod to the beautiful colors of fall and our favorite, friendly ghost.

Oliver
Oliver means olive tree. It’s an earthy name that invokes images of the classic tale, Oliver’s Twist.
Orla
This name is one of the most popular october-inspired baby names right now (don’t worry, it’s not popular enough that “everyone” is using it). Orla is gaelic for gold: the perfect representation of this season’s beautiful color scheme.
Raven
If you’re an Edgar Allen Poe fan, Raven is the perfect baby name for you. It inspires memories of gray, chilly days (if you’re a Fall-baby like me, there is no other warm and home-y thought!) and long, comforting nights. Plus, most of the time, ravens are our only avian friends during this season!
Reed
Another earthy name! Reeds are found in wet, marshy environments.

Rhea is a relatively popularly name that means flowing stream and acknowledges the gentle rains of Fall.
Rosemary
Herbs and spices are very common for autumn baby names. Rosemary is a less common name that provides provides endless nickname options.
Rue
French for “reddish brown”, Roux is also a popular october-inspired baby name right now. Personally, I think of roux as the essential ingredient for a good gravy. A less popular variation of this name is Rue (which is, ironically, an herb!)
Rye
Rye can be your baby’s full name or a nickname for Ryanna or Ryan. It’s another harvest essential, and very unisex.
Saffron
Saffron is definitely of my favorite autumn baby names on this list. It’s an Indian spice that invokes images of rich crimson tones.
Serena
The moon phases are an essential part of the fall season. I love this name because its beautiful, rarely used, and not quite as on-the-nose as Luna.
Siena
This reddish brown color is found all over the place during October and November. Why not name your child after it?
Stella
How is Stella an autumn name? One word: Oktoberfest. Stella, French for star, is the perfect october-inspired baby name for Stella Artois fans.
Sorrell
Sorrell is French for reddish brown hair and a pretty amazing boot brand ;). It’s also unisex, and is perfect if you’re waiting to reveal the gender until birth.
Todd
Have you ever seen the Fox and the Hound? Remember Todd, the Fox? Of course, Todd is a variation of Fox (very on the nose, Disney!). I can think of no other animal that represents fall more than the fox.

Wesley is an earthy, unisex name that means western meadow.
