Ṣafar (Arabic: صفر) is the second month of the Islamic calendar. The Arabic word ṣafar means "empty", corresponding to the pre-Islamic Arabian time period when people’s houses were empty, as they were out gathering food. Ṣafar
also means "whistling of the wind", as this was likely a windy time of
year. Most of the Islamic months are named according to weather
conditions of the time; however, since the calendar is lunar, the months
shift about 11 days every year, meaning that the seasons do not
necessarily correspond to the name of the month.
