The May full Moon is called the Flower Moon due to the abundance of flowers that typically bloom in this month.
Traditional names for each full moon in a year often come from various sources, including Native American, Colonial American, and other North American folklore. These names were used to track the seasons and often reflect the nature or activities common during that time in the Northern Hemisphere.
