Last. No moon is called new moon.
The last quarter moon occurs approximately halfway between the full moon and the new moon. This phase appears as a half-circle in the sky, with the right side illuminated. It typically happens around 3 weeks after the full moon.
The four faces of the moon are called the Phases of the Moon. They are the New Moon, First Quarter, Full Moon, and Last Quarter.
When the moon is becoming full, it is called the waxing gibbous phase. It occurs after the first quarter moon and before the full moon, when more than half but not all of the moon's face is illuminated.

It is when the moon is more than half full and getting larger. So it is any stage between half full and full.
The stage just before a full moon is a quarter moon.
A full moon is when the moon is in its orbital phase where it is directly opposite the sun, with its illuminated side facing Earth. This occurs approximately every 29.5 days as the moon completes one full orbit around Earth.
The first quarter and last quarter of the moon are each approximately 7 days apart from the new moon and full moon, respectively. Since the full moon occurs about 14 days after the new moon, the first quarter and last quarter phases are roughly 7 days apart from each other. Therefore, the first quarter and last quarter of the moon are about 14 days apart.
The last full moon in the UK was on November 19, 2021.
