Etymology: Derived from the Japanese words 'mochi' (full) and 'zuki' or 'tsuki' (moon), forming 'mochizuki' which literally means 'full moon'. The name originates as a compound of kanji 睦 (mochi, meaning harmony) or もち (as in mochitsuki, rice cake pounding under the full moon) and 月 (tsuki, moon), though most commonly interpreted as 全 (whole) + 月 (moon) or simply the phrase for full moon: 満月 (michizuki), with phonetic variation.
