It’s official; November’s full moon will now be named the “Thankful Moon!” Thousands of you voted to select the new name last month as part of our ongoing Name That Moon Contest. The winning name was submitted by Lynn Scholfield, who was the first of 10 people to suggest the name “Thankful Moon.”
Several others submitted variations, including “Thanksgiving Moon” and “Grateful Moon.” She will win a free 2011 Farmers’ Almanac.
Every year, the Farmers’ Almanac publishes the traditional names for each month’s full moon. These names, such as “Wolf Moon,” “Corn Moon” and “Sturgeon Moon,” date back to Native Americans who lived in what is now the northeastern United States.
