The word 'Halloween' was first popularized in a poem.

Scottish poet Robert Burns contributed to the development of the word "Halloween" with his 1785 poems with the same word.

So where does the name itself come from? According to the Online Etymology Dictionary, in fact the two words are actually put together. "Hallow" - or holy person - refers to the saints who celebrate All Saints' Day, which is November 1. The "en" part of the word is the "tomorrow" covenant - or the evening before.

So basically, Halloween 2020 is just an old-fashioned way of saying "the night before All Saints 'Day" -gest5 also called Halloween or All Hallows' day.

This is due to the fact that November 1 is All Saints' Day, a Christian celebration designed to celebrate the departed faithful, including all the saints. According to Christian tradition, people start celebrating big feasts the night before - it takes the example of Christmas.
