    Could've just opted to "Autumn" for no ambiguity. :)

      Why do not they use words "autumn" in that sentence?

        Many Vietnamese names use "Thu", like "Thu Nguyệt". It would sound funny translated as "Fall Moon" compared to "Autumn Moon". But that is a name. "Fall" as a season seems best choice for a season.

          Well "fall" was being used in Britain centuries ago but it's now preserved in the US while most of the other English-speaking countries use "autumn". Also, Vietnamese treat names like Thu Nguyệt like how an English speaker would treat Latin/Greek/French names.
