What’s in a name ~ Halloween?

Posted by on

Let’s break it down.  Halloween, also Hallowe’en, is a word in the English dictionary.  But where did it come from?  In the late 18th century Hallowe’en was a contraction of All Hallow Eve.  Over time the apostrophe was dropped, and it simply became Halloween. 

According to the Online Etymology Dictionary, Halloween is two words joined together. "Hallow" — meaning holy person — refers to the saints and martyrs celebrated on All Saints' Day (November 1). The "een" part of the word means eve — or evening before (October 31) the night of the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain. 

So, what does it boil down to?  Halloween is simply an old-fashioned way of saying the night before All Saints' Day.

All forms, old and new, can be found in decorations for the holiday.  Variations you’ll see may include the following:

  1. Halloween
  2. Hallowe’en
  3. Allhallowe’en
  4. All Hallows’ Eve
  5. Allhallow-even
  6. All Hallows’ Evening
  7. All Saints’ Eve

Call me modern, but I prefer the common day Halloween! Which do you prefer? Leave a comment below—we’d love to know!

  • REAL LOVE SPELL CASTER PRIEST WISDOM THAT HELP ME SAVE MY RELATIONSHIP.TEXT OR ADD HIM UP ON WHATSAPP/Telegram: +2348124644470 

    My name is CLARA JAMES .I want to give thanks to PRIEST WISDOM for bringing back my ex husband.No one could have ever made me believe that the letter I’m about to write would actually one day be written. I was the world’s biggest skeptic. I never believed in magic spells or anything like this, but I was told by a reliable source (a very close co-worker) that Trust is a very dedicated, gifted, and talented person,It was one of the best things I  have ever done. My love life was in shambles; I had been through two divorces and was on the brink of a third. I just couldn’t face another divorce, and I wanted to try harder to make our relationship work, but my husband didn’t seem to care. and he broke up with me again . I was confused and did not know what to do again, rather they got in contact with PRIEST WISDOM.He did a love spell that made my husband come back to me. We are now very much happy with ourselves. PRIEST WISDOM makes him realize  how much we love and need each other .This man is for REAL and for good . He can also help you to fix your broken relationship. I had my husband back! It was like a miracle! He suddenly wanted to go to marriage counselling, and we’re doing very, very well , in our love life . contact email  supernaturalspell0@gmail.com or text or add him up on WhatsApp/Telegram at: +2348124644470 his web page https://supernaturalspell21.blogspot.com/ or go to his page https://web.facebook.com/PRIESTWISDOM11
