The naming of the full Moons originated with the Native Americans - each full Moon had a name so they could keep track of the seasons. Because December is when winter starts to really bite and the cold weather starts to take hold, the full Moon was called the Full Cold Moon (it was also known as the Full Long Nights Moon).

Some other names are: Full Snow Moon (February), Full Strawberry Moon (June), Full Harvest Moon (October).
