Autumn, one of the most beautiful seasons

Autumn is one of the most beautiful seasons of the year. In it, nature shows its maximum beauty and splendor with beautiful trees that leave behind their green color to give way to red, yellow, brown and even purple shades. This is a product of shorter days and less sunlight.

The meanings of boy and girl names inspired by autumn have to do, in many cases, with the bounties of nature and the creation of the Earth, satellites, stars, and constellations. This season is also related to nostalgia, melancholy, and detachment. It’s about letting go of the old to make way for the new.
