In the 19th century there were three occasions (two biiig volcanic explosions and a biiig forest fire) which pumped the stratosphere full of particulates. A decade ago we had Pinatubo do the same in miniature. Particulates increase scattering in a way that red light is selectively scattered out. So the sky is pink but the disk of the moon takes on a bluish cast.
The rarity of this event must have inspired the name for the uncommon but not truly rare lineup of full moons with calendar months.
