Autumn is called 'fall' because of the suns continuing falling position in the sky. As the days get shorter the sun continues to 'fall' closer to the horizon until the Winter solstice on December 21st.
The word 'autumn' dates back to ancient Rome, and is also based on the suns position in the sky as it refers to the Autumnal Eqiunox.
"Fall" and "autumn" both refer to the same season and have been used interchangeably for centuries. "Fall" is derived from the Old English word "fall," while "autumn" comes from the Latin word "autumnus." The use of both terms likely came from a combination of cultural influences and the evolution of language over time.
