This moon called the wolf moon because in the past most people
used to measure the variation of seasons by looking at the lunar month and not
by looking at the solar month like us. The name of the full moons, they are the
names created in the past or ancient times. people across Europe, as well as
Native American tribes, denominated the months after features they associated
with the Northern Hemisphere seasons, and many of these designations are very
kindred or identical.
Nowadays, we utilize many of these antediluvian month names as Full Moon designations.

However, it seems that it is a coalescence of Germanic, Native American, and Anglo-Saxon month names that gave birth to the denominations commonly utilized for the Full Moon today. The full moon we are counting and naming is basically the name of the full moon nights created in those ancient times and which is still used today. So the thing I was talking about is the wolf moon.
What is the wolf moon?

night's moon is basically called wolf moon. However, in addition to the wolf
moon, it has some other names such as old moon, ice moon, snow moon. Although
the moon of the full moon month of February is also counted by these names many
times now, these names are also counted by these names. But why is this night's
moon called the wolf moon? In some sources, wolf moon's naming is said to be a
Native American name but in many places, it is also said to be derived from
Anglo Saxon.
what's the relationship between the wolf and the wolf moon?
But no matter who they are, everyone agrees that the naming
of these months had a considerable effect on the weather and environment at
that time. Because most of the names have a direct resemblance to the weather
or nature of the time. For example, the wolf moon. The main reason for calling
the January full moon the wolf moon is thought to be the wolf's howl in
the Northern Hemisphere at this time.
During this time wolves howl very loudly because it is their mating season or time so they call very loudly to specify their area and attract mates. Which is heard far and wide and it is also said that this is the main reason why the full moon in January is called the wolf moon. The reason for the howl is basically to tell the other wolves that the area is his. Although a wolf howl for 3(three) to 7(seven) seconds, but in this season they howl for 30 seconds to 120 seconds to announce their area and attract female wolves. For this reason, the wolves' vocals became louder during this time. And due to the wolf's howl, in January's full moon It is called the wolf moon night.
Is there any supernatural reason to howl in moon night?
Scientists have not found any relation between the wolf's howl and the full moon. The full moon in January is called the wolf moon just for the wolf's howl, but that doesn't mean the wolf has anything to do with the full moon. At this time, wolves howl to protect their territory and attract female wolves, but it has nothing to do with the moon.
