The word "Lunatic" came from the word Luner ( moon ). There is no reliable information in medicine or science to support this claim of people going crazy on a full moon.

What effects on peoples behaviour has moon phases?

Not much, actually. The research, if you can dignify it with that name, is pretty sparse; more anecdote than data. But E.R. nurses will swear that the full moon brings out the craziness in some people, and the word "lunatic" for "crazy person" comes from the Latin word for the Moon, "Luna". In general, SOME people have a tendency to act wildly when the Moon is full. We're not sure why, or even if this is a real testable hypothesis.
