Meshir (Coptic: Ⲙⲉϣⲓⲣ), also known as Mechir or Mecheir (Ancient Greek: Μεχίρ, Mekhír) and Amshir[1] (Egyptian Arabic: أمشير [ʔæmˈʃiːɾ]), is the sixth month of the ancient Egyptian and Coptic calendars.
The month of Meshir is also the second month of the Season of Proyet (Growth and Emergence) in ancient Egypt, when the Nile floods recede and the crops start to grow throughout the land of Egypt.
The name of the month of Meshir comes from Mechir, the Ancient Egyptian God genius of wind [citation needed].
