I’m trying to convince a friend of the folk superstitious origin of this connection but I can’t find any proof of my position anywhere!
thanks in advance

Best,
I don’t know what misconception you mean, but the word “month” is derived from the word “moon”. The moon’s orbital period normally lasts a month. The periods also come once a month. The periods are also called menses or menses, coming from the Latin “mensis”, which means month.
Kind regards,
