January's full Moon is known as the Wolf Moon.
Over time, different cultures have given names to full Moons across the lunar calendar. Many of these names have come to us from Native American culture because, for their way of life, the cycles of the lunar phases were just as important a method of timekeeping as the longer solar cycle of the year (from which the modern Gregorian calendar is derived).
The number of names for full Moons differs slightly from tribe to tribe but these names were then adopted by the Colonial Americans and have entered popular culture.
January's full Moon is named after the howling of
hungry wolves lamenting the scarcity of food in midwinter. Other names for this
month's full Moon include Old Moon and Ice Moon.
