Origins of "Half Moon" as a Pub Name
The half moon is a symbol of love and romance. This may have been appealing to some pub owners, who wanted to create a pub that was seen as a place where people could come to meet and socialize. The half moon is also a symbol of hope and new beginnings. This may have been another reason why some pubs were named "Half Moon".
What's a Canonical Name?
To simplify searches, each pub on our database has a Canonical Name - usually a shortened version of its full name missing out any common prefixes and suffixes like "The Old", "Inn", "Tavern" and so on.
This means that "The Old Crown", "The Crown Inn" and "Ye Olde Crown Taverne" are known canonically as, simply, "Crown".
We've also dropped the "The", standarised with "and" instead of "&" and in some cases simplified pluralisation.
