THE MEANING & THE CONTEXT
The story behind Bulan
Wolff gives búlan two basic noun senses: the moon and a month. The long entry discusses lunar phases, but the word alone does not specify a crescent, a full moon, or a particular birth month.
A word, offered as inspiration. The dictionary supports its meaning; it does not establish use as a given name, a gender, or a popularity ranking.
