The full moon names used by “The Old Farmer’s Almanac” are derived from Native American, Colonial American, and European sources.
“Traditionally, each full Moon name was applied to the entire lunar month in which it occurred, not solely to the full Moon,” according to the The Old Farmer’s Almanac.
May’s Flower Moon name is quite fitting, “flowers spring forth across North America in abundance this month!” according to the almanac.
