Jumada al-Thani


Jumada al-Thani also known as Jumada al-Akhirah, or Jumada al-Akhir, is the sixth month in the Islamic Calendar. The word Jumda, from which the name of the month is derived, is used to denote dry parched land, a land devoid of rain, and hence denote the dry months.
In Turkish, used in the Ottoman Empire times and context, it was Jèmāzìyyu-'l-ākhir, or G̃emazi-yèl-Aher. Its Turkish abbreviation was jìm', and its Latin abbreviation was Djem. II. This is also spelled Cümadelahir or. The modern Turkish spellings are Cemaziyelahir and Cemaziyelsani.
