30 Splendid September Baby Names That Usher In Autumn

Did you know that September is the most common birth month of the year? That means there are tons of babies who are getting winning names during the month. The autumn season begins on September 22 with the Autumn Equinox. It marks the shift from the long, hot days of summer to the shorter, more brisk days of fall. Just because things are cooling down does not mean that there aren’t some seriously hot baby names being used for September babies.

Some of the most recognized symbols for fall and September specifically include birth month flowers morning glory and aster, a Saphire September birth stone, and the Virgo and Libra zodiac signs. Further, the Jewish High Holidays occur in September as well as Labor Day. All of this to say that there is no shortage of inspiration to draw from for September baby names.

September Baby Names for Boys

Mason

September Baby Names

Because of the early Labor Day holiday in the US, occupational names derived from surnames feel extremely important as they celebrate various vocations. Mason is one of the most popular of these, meaning “stone worker.”

Sawyer

Like Mason, Sawyer is also a gender-neutral baby name that is wildly popular. This name is also derived from English as an occupational surname for a “woodcutter.”

Cooper

One last occupational baby name in honor of Labor Day! Cooper is a wildly popular option for both boys and girls. The name is also of English origin and it means “barrel maker.” Cooper first began its meteoric rise in the 1980s before becoming one of the US’s favorite September baby names.

Brogan

Brogan is a storied appellation of Irish origin that means “small shoe.” Who you have Irish heritage or just like names from the Emerald Isle, it could be the best September baby name for your son. Saint Brogan (seen as Saint Broccán Clóen in Gaelic) was a nephew of Saint Patrick and the feast day is held on September 17.

Fitzgerald

Another name that would be at home in Ireland is Fitzgerald which is considered both Irish and Scottish, meaning “son of Gerald.” We chose this iconic option in honor of novelist F. Scott Fitzgerald who was born September 24.

Garnet

Garnet is one of the September baby names that works for both boys and girls. Yes, it is the birthstone for January but the name for it is derived from a French word that means “pomegranate.” Pomegranate season starts in September in the US making it an appropriate option to include.

Aster

We’re really knocking it out of the park with unisex options here. Aster is a name of English origin that means “star.” Of course, aster flowers are one of the birth flowers for the month of Septemebr making it a real winner for a baby born this month.

Otis

Legendary singer and songwriter Otis Redding sure had a voice that was so smooth it could make you go weak in the knees! The musician was born on September 9, 1941. You could honor his memory with the name or simply pick this one for its offbeat sound. The name is of German origin and means “wealthy.”

Clark

Yes, Clark is an English occupational name but it also celebrates a very important time of year for many children across the US. Back-to-school tends to happen in late August or September. This makes names about education feel very appropriate as September baby names. Clark means “scholar.”

Jarah

Pronounced JAY-rah, Jahrah is a name of Hebrew origin for boys that means “honeysuckle” or “honeycomb.” In the US, honey harvesting is well underway in September making this meaning a fitting one for your September baby boy. This name has traditionally been reserved for boys but some parents are gifting it to their baby girls as well. It’s definitely a name to watch.

Cyprian

Cyprian is a boy’s name of Greek origin meaning “man of Cyprus.” The name has been in use since medieval times, initially made known via the third-century lawyer, martyr, and bishop of Carthage, St. Cyprian. The Saint’s feast day is on either September 16 or 26.

Harvest

Harvest has been occasionally used as a name since the eighteenth century, originally as evenly unisex, though it tips a bit in the girls’ direction today. However, we like this one for boys. But, do your thing, parents! Harvest, of course, names the season we find ourselves in during September, making it an unusual yet evocative option.

Kuro

Pronounced KOO-ro, Kuro is a name for boys of Japanese origin that means “ninth son.” Now, we know not too many parents are popping out nine babies these days but we thought the nine number would be significant for our ninth month of the year, September.

Finbar

Finbar is a name for boys of Irish origin that means “fair hair.” We chose this storied Irish classic due to its relation to Saint Finbar whose feast day is celebrated on September 25. He is the patron saint of Cork and in Irish folklore, Finbarr (there are many popular spellings) was king of the fairies. Not too shabby!

Sarad

Sarad is a Hindi name for boys that means “born in Autumn.” Is this the ultimate September baby name for boys? It very well could be! The name has never been widely given in the US but that could change. Baby name database, Nameberry says that users’ interest in the name is up 96%! Expect to hear more of this one in the coming years!

September Baby Names for Girls

Autumn

Let’s kick off these September baby names for girls with a bang! Autumn has been a very popular choice in the US in recent decades and it is more popular today than ever before. This gentle, season name offers plenty of warmth and approachability, making it an excellent option for your daughter born in September.

Harper

Let’s try some occupational names for girls that celebrate Labor Day. Harper is a unisex choice that has been moving in the girls’ direction ever so slightly. The name once was used as a surname for a “harp player.” You will be in good company if you choose this name as it is the 10th most popular name given to girls right now!

Piper

Not too far off from Harper, comes another English occupational name, Piper. Piper refers to a person who is a “pipe or flute player.” Despite the name being very old it has only been widely used for girls in the US since the late 1990s! It’s enjoying plenty of favor today and would be great for your September baby.

Oriana

Rosh Hashanah is the Jewish New Year, so a name meaning “new,” particularly a Jewish name such as Oriana, feels very appropriate. Oriana is a multicultural name that is taken to mean “light or dawn” in its Hebrew context. That makes it a great fit for a September baby girl.

Avalon

We are going to stick with the Jewish holiday theme by choosing a name that means “apple.” Apples are considered a symbol of the High Holidays. It’s also a great time of year for picking apples! Avalon is not a Hebrew name. It comes from the Celtic tradition and means “island of apples.” It’s a paradise found in Arthurian legend.

Rosamel

Rosamel is technically a unisex name but it has a masculine image in most Spanish-speaking communities. Rosamel comes from French and Spanish and means “rose and honey.” Not bad at all! Honey is another popular symbol associated with the High Holidays that are celebrated in September.

Anara

We recommended Garnet as a boy’s name but it’s a great one for girls as well. Garnet is a French name that means “pomegranate” which is yet another symbol of the High Holidays. If Garnet sounds too tough, give Anara a try. This multicultural name can be found in Persian, Hindi, and Kazakh. Most agree that the name means “pomegranate flower.” What a dream of a name!

Jubilee

Jubilee is a unisex option that we particularly like for September-born baby girls. It’s the last name we put forward to celebrate the Jewish High Holidays. The name is of Hebrew origin and means “ram’s horn.” The ram’s horn is yet another item and symbol associated with the holidays. It also sounds like a party!

Sapphire

Sapphire is an enchanting name that belongs to one of September’s birthstones. The name is derived from Hebrew, Greek, and Latin origins. It means “blue.” Although the name is rather popular in the UK it is still rare in the US. You can help change that, new parents!

Astera

Pronounced as-TAIR-ah, Astera is the Hebrew answer to Aster and also names the flower but gives it a feminine spin. Astera is a popular choice in Israel but it has yet to find its way to the US in any significant numbers. That makes this September baby name an untapped flower name that many parents should turn to.

Arista

Not too far off from Astera is Arista which comes from Greek and Latin and means “ear of corn.” Corn is huge at this time of year across much of the United States making it a great Septemeber baby name that celebrates nature and this remarkable time of year.

Libra

Libra is the zodiac sign associated with the latter days of September. The name comes from Greek and means “scales” or “balance.” Libra has yet to take off for baby girls but it has potential as an alternative to the hot name Lyra or a spin on the dated classic Libba.

Virgo

Virgo is extremely rare as a baby name but it could be a great September option for your baby girl. Virgo presides over the beginning of the month. The name is of Greek origin and means “maiden” or “virgin.”

Verena

For this name’s pronunciation, the emphasis goes on the second syllable as in veh-REE-nah. The name is of Latin origin and means “integrity.” Saint Verena was a third-century nurse who is especially venerated in Switzerland. Her feast day is on September 14, making it appropriate as a choice for your September baby.

September

Well, you could skip all the formalities and cut right to the chase. September works as a baby name for both boys and girls and, while it is rare, it typically goes to baby girls over boys. September was a word invented by the Romans for the seventh month on their calendar and indeed means “seven.” In today’s context, September is the ninth month on our calendar and the start of one of the year’s best seasons.

Now you have some excellent options for your September baby. Fall babies are such a blessing and we hope that you found these names worthy of your little one.
