Parmouti (Coptic: Ⲡⲁⲣⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ, Parmoute), also known as Pharmouthi (Greek: Φαρμουθί, Pharmouthí) and Barmudah (برموده), is the eighth month of the Egyptian and Coptic calendars. It lasts between April 9 and May 8 of the Gregorian calendar. Paremoude was also the fourth month of the season of Proyet (Growth and Emergence) in Ancient Egypt, when the Nile floods recede and the crops start to grow throughout the land.

Name

The Coptic name Paremoude derives from the Egyptian Renenutet.
