What's the word for an anniversary but for one month? besides, it's our one month anniversary.?

Question:doesn't the word anniversary have to mean "year"? so is there a term for one month anniversary?



Answers:
If the word for the commemoration of a yearly event is anniversary, by analogy the logical word for the commemoration of a monthly event should be "mensiversary." "Anniversary" comes from the Latin "annum," meaning year. (The "versary" part comes from a Latin word referring to turning.) The Latin word for month is "mensis." Hence, mensiversary.

However, common vernacular uses "anniversary" to mean any commemoration, not only annual.
brandon, Uno anniversery !
It's called a "monthiversary". It's very common!
What about "lunaversary"?
Strictly speaking, you're right, although "anniversary" can be used generically for any remembrance. I suppose the idea behind "ann" (which you correctly surmise relates to "year") being used to help make up the word is that any shorter period of time than a year isn't worth remembering. One neologism you might consider (which I've actually seen once or twice) is "monthiversary"
A whole month? Break out the champagne!

Oh unless you aren't old enough.
