Other names for this moon include: barley moon, red moon, grain moon, fish moon, and corn moon.

This month’s moon got its name because August is the time of year people would fish for sturgeon, and reap the first harvest of the season in preparation for the cooler months. It’s a popular time to harvest barley, grain, and corn.
