Etymology

From Proto-Indo-Iranian *pr̥Hná-mā́Has ~ *pr̥Hná-mā́Hasas (“full moon”). Compare Avestan 𐬞𐬆𐬭𐬆𐬥𐬋-𐬨𐬂𐬢𐬵𐬀 (pər^ənō-måŋha, “full moon”), Middle Persian pwrm՚ẖ (purrmāh, “full moon”). See also पूर्णमास् (pūrṇamās), attested in the Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa. Equivalent to पूर्ण (pūrṇa, “full”) +‎ मास (māsa, “moon”).
