January’s full moon—which will reach peak illumination on the 25th—is referred to as the “Wolf Moon.” But where did this name come from? According to farmersalmanac, Wolf Moon originates from Native American, European, and Colonial American sources. The name likely came from a simple occurrence: Wolves howling during the full moon. January’s full moon is also sometimes referred to as the “Center Moon” (Assiniboine people), the “Cold Moon” and “Frost Exploding Moon” (Cree), “Severe Moon” and “Hard Moon” (Dakota), and “Freeze Up Moon” (Algonquin).
