Celtic Naming Traditions
It is important to note that a single, universal “Celtic” calendar of 13 full moon names does not exist. Different Celtic traditions and modern Pagan practices often use varied names, sometimes drawing from the Celtic Tree Calendar or local folklore, which align more with lunar months than a specific date of the full moon itself. The more common names above are a mixture of Native American, Anglo-Saxon, and European origins, which have been widely adopted.
