Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from Old English 'hony moone' (first recorded in the 16th century), originally referring to the notion that the first month of marriage is the sweetest, with the metaphor of the moon waning compared to fading affection. Over time, it evolved to specifically denote the traditional holiday taken by a newly married couple.
