'''Shevat''' ([[Hebrew language|Hebrew]]: '''{{Script/Hebrew|שְׁבָט'''}}, <small>[[Hebrew language#Modern Hebrew|Standard]]</small> ''ŠəvatŠəvaṭ'', <small>[[Tiberian vocalization|Tiberian]]</small> ''ŠəvāṭŠeḇāṭ'' ; from [[Akkadian language|Akkadian]] ''Šabātu'') is the fifth month of the civil year starting in Tishre (or Tishri) and the eleventh month of the ecclesiastical year on the [[Hebrew calendar]] starting in Nisan. It is a month of 30 days. Shevat usually occurs in January–February on the [[Gregorian calendar]].
The name of the month was taken from the Akkadian language during the Babylonian Captivity. The assumed Akkadian origin of the month is Šabātu meaning strike that refers to the heavy rains of the season.
