Is it called fall or autumn?

_Elsa_

She comes across different terms for this season. Some are calling It fall and others call it autumn. She has to do a search to find out why there are two different ways of naming this season.

"Fall" And "Autumn" Emerged as Popular Terms Once More And More People Moved from Rural Areas to Cities - During the 1600s, more people began leaving rural farmlands to move into larger, metropolitan cities. Without farming, the term "harvest" became less immediately applicable to the lives of city-dwellers, and subsequently, "fall" and "autumn" emerged as two new names for the season. "Autumn" came from the Latin word "autumnus," with the root of the word having connotations regarding "the passing of the year." The term "fall" was likely a deviation from the Old English words "fiaell" and "feallan," both of which mean "to fall from a height." It is assumed that this new name for the season was inspired by trees' falling leaves. 

By The 19th Century, "Fall" Had Become An Americanism, While "Autumn" Remained The Commonly Used British Term - During the 17th century, both "fall" and "autumn" rose to popularity in Britain, but it was the younger and "more poetic" term for the season that ended up crossing the seas and leading in the American English language. Subsequently, Britain ended up using "autumn" as their primary term for the season. While you'll still hear the word "autumn" used in America and "fall" used in Britain, you're much more likely to hear it the other way round. The more you know! (Info here)
