About Plenilune
“Plenilune” is based on the Latin “plēnilūnium,” which combines the prefix “plēni,” meaning “full,” with “lūna,” meaning “moon.”
Did you Know?
Historically, the plenilune has been associated with good fortune and fertility. In pre-Roman history, calendars were oriented around moon cycles, and months were tracked by the plenilune. Since the Roman Empire, calendars have been oriented around the sun, but most modern calendars still note the phases of the moon.
