The official names are Prevernal, Vernal, Estival, Serotinal, Autumnal, and Hibernal. These are mostly named for regions of temperature. There are also other cultures that celebrates seasons as a solstice.

As far as I'm aware, "autumn" instead of "fall" is the only legitimate alternate name used frequently enough to justify mentioning. There may be some lower-key alternate names for summer, spring, and winter out there, but I have never heard any of them in my lifetime. I hope that helps. If not, try googling this question for more information.
