Shawwal (Arabic: شَوَّال, romanized: Shawwāl) is the tenth month of the Islamic calendar. It comes after Ramadan and before Dhu al-Qa'da.

Shawwāl stems from the Arabic verb shāla (شَالَ), which means to 'lift or carry',^[1] generally to take or move things from one place to another. The month was so named because a female camel would normally be carrying a fetus at this time of year in pre-Islamic Arabia.^{[citation needed]}
