Some names listed here may reflect usage at one time in history, but may no longer be used by a designated group today. Additionally, a name for the lunar month might vary each year or between bands or other groups within the same nation. Note that for Native American names, each Moon name was typically applied to the entire lunar month in which it occurred, the month starting either with the new Moon or full Moon. The Moon names that we use in The Old Farmer’s Almanac come from Native American, Colonial American, or other traditional North American sources passed down through generations. Historically, Native American and other traditional names for full or new Moons were used to track the seasons.
