The full name of the month is Marheshvan. It comes from the Akkadian language , and means “the eighth month” ^[1] Initially, there was something like “varkh shman” - “the eighth month” (in Akkadian, the labial w constantly changed to labial m).

Folk etymology interprets the name of the month as “mar-hashwan” (bitter hashwan), since this is the only month in the Jewish calendar that does not account for any significant events or holidays.
