Sivan (Hebrew: סִיוָן, Modern: Sivan, Tiberian: Siwān, from Akkadian simānu, meaning "season; time") is the ninth month of the civil year and the third month of the religious year on the Hebrew calendar.
It is a month of 30 days.
Sivan usually falls in May–June on the Gregorian calendar.
Along with all other current, post-biblical Jewish month names, Sivan was adopted during the Babylonian captivity.
In the Babylonian calendar it was named Araḫ Simanu.
