Why is it called the Wolf Moon? According to the Old Farmer's Almanac, the name derives from the howling wolves that were commonly heard in January, as harsh winter conditions cloaked the landscape in frost and snow. Early Native American tribes, along with European settlers, used the wolf’s mournful calls to mark this time of year. Other traditional names for January’s full moon include the Freeze Up Moon, Hard Moon, and Center Moon, reflecting the deep connection ancient cultures had with seasonal cycles.
