According to the Old Farmer's Almanac, which began publishing full moon names in the 1930s, some Native American tribes referred to June's full moon as the "strawberry moon" to mark the short but sweet strawberry harvest season.

The nickname given to June’s full moon varies based on tribes. The Haida people, an Indigenous group in the Pacific Northwest, refer to it as the “berries ripen moon,” while the Muscogee call it the “blackberry moon” and the Shawnee tribe know it as the “raspberry moon."
