Where do full moon names come from?
– All the honey moons, strawberry moons, corn moons, sturgeon moons – these are some Indian sentiments. The Americans simply gave the subsequent regular full moons different and interesting names, said Professor Pawel Rudawi of the Astronomical Institute of the University of Wroclaw in an interview with wroclaw.pl.
The full moon names come from the ancient customs, beliefs, and natural observations of the indigenous people of North America. sIt is associated with nature and the changes of the seasons. So:
- In January, the full wolf moon,
- Full snow moon in february,
- In March, the full worm moon,

- Full flower moon in May,
- The full strawberry moon is in June

- In September, the full corn or harvest moon,
- In October, the full Hunter’s Moon,

Full Corn Moon 2023. Where did the name come from? When should you monitor?

It is worth noting that the tradition of observing the Harvest Moon dates back a thousand years and comes from China during the Tang Dynasty. In Japan, the Moon Festival is celebrated, and this tradition is called Tsukimi, which translates as “looking at the moon,” as the site wrote. Forbes.com.
