Like many things dealing with the moon, its name comes from both astrological and pagan origins dating back to pre-historic times. Which came first is a question that will always hold debate. Many believe it’s rooted in pagan observances of the Grand Mother Moon. Some say it’s Celtic, but we know the Celts were highly influenced by the Norse, so some attribute the name to Germanic cultures, but research doesn’t play out for either of these. Others say it came by way of Rome and Greece, which may seem more likely. Others say it’s none of these at all and first acquired its name in the Middle East where lunar calendars are still revered today in Muslim observances and the practice of Astrology in ancient Egypt.
