Etymology

Inherited from Old Polish czyrwiec. By surface analysis, czerw + -iec. The month was thus named either because this was the time of year bugs would appear or because one would go and acquire red dye made from bugs.[1][2] Diplaced Old Polish czyrwień possibly under influence of marzec and later lipiec.[3]
