The Silent Generation is the one right before the Baby Boomers with birthdays from 1928 to 1945. Time Magazine coined the term in an article titled "The Younger Generation," on November 5, 1951.
This cohort grew up during a period of war and economic depression, so their personality could be seen as being silenced or muted by these events. Certainly, the birth rate did fall during that time period.
