What the July Full moon is called
As with several other full moon names, the July Full Moon, often called the Buck Moon, refers to animal and plant behavior. “Buck” is for the full-growth of male deer antlers. But the July Moon is also known as the Berry Moon ( Anishinaabe and Dakota), and Raspberry Moon (Algonquin, Ojibwe).
Other names include Feather Moulting Moon (Cree) and Salmon Moon, a Tlingit term indicating when fish returned to the area.
