ABOUT
According to The Farmers’ Almanac, is the third full moon in a season with four full moons. As each season normally has only three full moons with specific names for each one, an additional moon could cause confusion, so the third moon is called blue.
Some years have 13 Full Moons, which makes at least one of them a Blue Moon, as it doesn't quite fit in with the traditional Full Moon naming system. However, this is not the only definition of a Blue Moon.
About every 19 years, there is no Full Moon in February. This is one of several definitions of the term Black Moon.
The other definitions refer to a New Moon which does not fit in with the equinoxes or solstices, similar to a Blue Moon.
Today the expression, “Once in a blue moon,” indicates an event that happens very rarely.
Latinx Influence
When the Julian calendar was introduced in 45 BCE, Latin month names gradually became more common in Europe. However, the ancient Pagan names were not forgotten. Old High German month names were introduced by Charlemagne (Charles the Great) who ruled as King of the Franks and later Emperor of the Romans from 774 to 814. And Old English or pre-Christian Anglo-Saxon month names were collected by the English Monk Venerable Bede in 725.
Indigenous Northern American Influence
Today, many of these ancient month names have been adopted as names for the Full Moon of each month. A common explanation, published in the Old Farmer's Almanac, is that Colonial Americans adopted Native American names and incorporated them into the modern calendar. However, it seems that the Full Moon names we use today also have Anglo-Saxon and Germanic roots.
