The Sioux, Chippewa and Ojibwe communities, for example, refer to the full moon in June — which in 2022 will be the 14th — as the strawberry moon, according to the Western Washington University Planetarium website.

Other groups have given it slightly different names that still refer to the June fruit season, such as the creek term "kvco-hvsee" or "blackberry moon."

The Haida call it "gáan kungáay," which means "moon-ripened berries."

Many tribes, however, have nicknames for the June full moon that have nothing to do with the fruit, including the Potawatomi tribe's "msheke'kesis" or "turtle moon" and "at gadaxeet dis" or "full moon." of birth" of the Tlingit".

European alternatives to the June full moon are "honeymoon" or "mead moon," according to The Old Farmer's Almanac.

This may be due to June's reputation as the month of marriages, and could be the origin of the use of the term "honeymoon" for post-wedding holidays.
