Why the November Full Moon is called the Full Beaver Moon
The Full Beaver Moon, the name of the full moon in November, is probably not your first guess. Inspired by nature, this nickname comes from the time when Native Americans and early settlers would set traps to catch beavers to have warm furs for the winter.
Another nickname for the November full moon is the Frosty Moon, which makes sense depending on where you live in North America. November maybe when you start to see frost in the morning.
