Traditionally, each full Moon name was applied to the entire lunar month in which it\u00a0occurred, not just to the full Moon\u00a0itself.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s thought that January\u2019s\u00a0full Moon came to be\u00a0known as\u00a0the\u00a0<strong>Wolf Moon<\/strong>\u00a0because wolves were more often heard howling at this time. It was traditionally believed that wolves\u00a0howled due to\u00a0hunger during winter, but\u00a0we know today that wolves howl for other\u00a0reasons. Howling and other wolf vocalizations are\u00a0generally used to\u00a0define territory, locate pack members, reinforce social bonds, and coordinate\u00a0hunting.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Alternative January Moon\u00a0Names<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Another fitting\u00a0name\u00a0for this\u00a0full Moon is the\u00a0<strong>Center Moon<\/strong>. Used by\u00a0the Assiniboine people,\u00a0it\u00a0refers to the idea that this Moon roughly marks the middle of the winter\u00a0season.<\/p>\n<p>Other traditional names for the January Moon emphasize the harsh coldness of the season:\u00a0<strong>Cold Moon\u00a0<\/strong>(Cree),\u00a0<strong>Frost Exploding Moon<\/strong>\u00a0(Cree),\u00a0<strong>Freeze Up Moon<\/strong>\u00a0(Algonquin),\u00a0<strong>Severe Moon<\/strong>\u00a0(Dakota), and\u00a0<strong>Hard Moon<\/strong>\u00a0(Dakota).
