From Wikipedia
In Pythagorean numerology, every letter has a value from 1 to 9. Adding the letters of Autumn yields these three numbers — a playful read on the name's character.
Autumn splits its two peaks by fifteen years: most births in 1998 at 4,208, best rank in 2013 at 64. A name can climb the rankings while producing fewer babies, and this is a clean example. Currently at 3,030 births and rank 79, down 26% across the decade. As a word-name it belongs to a category that behaves differently from inherited names — no saint, no president, no long line of bearers to anchor it. The data reflects that. It first appears in 1910 and the enrichment file offers a single namesake, the actor Autumn Reeser, born 1980, who postdates the name's American rise rather than causing it. Season names tend to arrive with a decade and leave with it; a 143,464 all-time total suggests Autumn has done better than most at avoiding that.
