Native Americans’ Full Moon names were created to help different tribes track the seasons. The Full Moon Names we use in The Old Farmer’s Almanac come from the Algonquin tribes. They are the names that the Colonials adopted.https://www.almanac.com/content/full-moon-names# …
I’m not sure who’s responsible for naming these lunar events, but they’re doing a great job.https://twitter.com/SPACEdotcom/status/1086983989087195139 …

Partial answer: a Wolf Moon is the traditional name of the full moon in January. Super Moon is the name NASA gave to the appearance of the moon when it comes closer to Earth in its orbit.

A Super Moon refers to a New or Full Moon that occurs when the Moon is perigee, i.e. closest to the Earth. And a Wolf Moon is the January Full Moon, according to Native American tribes.

many of these names have been around for a long time. Based on native american traditions and agricultural calendars. You would do well to educate yourself. They actually don't make these names up.

Surprisingly, it’s the standard Farmer’s Almanac that gave each month’s moon a name. My favorite is Worm Moon every March.
