Sturgeon Moon Name Origin. What is a Sturgeon Moon? The full moon that appears in August is called the Sturgeon Moon. North American fishing tribes called Augustâs full moon the sturgeon moon since the species was abundant during this month, especially in the Great Lakes and other major bodies of water.
Tonightâs Sturgeon moon is more frequently known by the other moniker â but as youâre probably aware, the moon wonât appear to be blue despite the name. Christian Today explains the reason for the connection between Sturgeon moons or blue moons and frequency, explaining: âTonightâs blue moon is an extra summer moon, which is the third moon of four in the season that started on the June solstice.
