September: Corn Moon
If it is the nearest full Moon to the autumnal equinox, it is called the Harvest Moon instead.
September’s full Moon is probably called Corn Moon because that’s when crops are gathered at the end of the summer season.
At this time, the Moon appears particularly bright, allowing farmers to continue harvesting into the night.
October: Hunter’s Moon
This is the time when people would plan for the winter months and hunt animals for food.
Like September’s full Moon, it is sometimes called the Harvest Moon.
November: Beaver Moon
Beavers often start building their dams about this time, which is where it got its name.
It is also sometimes called Frost Moon.
December: Cold Moon
The winter chill gave December’s full Moon the name Cold Moon.
Other names include the Long Night Moon and the Oak Moon.
