    Iyar (Hebrew: אִייָר ‎ or אִיָּר ‎, Standard ʾĪyyar Tiberian ʾĪyyār; from Akkadian: 𒌗 𒄞 iti ayari "rosette; blossom") is the eighth month of the civil year (which starts on 1 Tishrei) and the second month of the Jewish religious year (which starts on 1 Nisan) on the Hebrew calendar. The name is Babylonian in origin.
