Paoni (Coptic: Ⲡⲁⲱⲛⲓ, Paōni), also known as Payni (Greek: Παϋνί, Paüní) and Ba'unah[1] (Arabic: بأونه, Ba'una), is the tenth month of the ancient Egyptian and Coptic calendars. It lasts between June 8 and July 7 of the Gregorian calendar. Paoni is also the second month of the Season of Shemu (Harvest) in Ancient Egypt, where the Egyptians harvest their crops throughout the land.
Name
The name "Paoni" derives from its original Egyptian name "Month of the Valley Festival" (Ancient Egyptian: pꜣ n in.t) in reference to an annual celebration of Thebes.
