October 31 is called All Hallows Eve because it is the evening before All Hallows Day, also known as All Saints' Day, which is celebrated on November 1. The term "Hallow" refers to saints or holy people, and "Eve" signifies the day before a significant event. Over time, All Hallows Eve was shortened to Halloween, evolving into the celebration we know today. This night has historical roots in various traditions, including ancient Celtic festivals marking the end of harvest and the onset of winter.
