Welcome to Medieval Monday! The word for March is Demesne.
From Merriam Webster Dictionary:
The word actually began as "demayn" or "demeyn" in the 14th century, when it was borrowed from Anglo-French property law. At that time, the Anglo-French form was "demeine." Later, the Anglo-French spelling changed to "demesne," perhaps by association with another term from Anglo-French property law: mesne, meaning "intermediate."
I see this as another opportunity to weave this particular word into one ...
