Nuna (Classical Mandaic: ࡍࡅࡍࡀ), alternatively known as Adar (Classical Mandaic: ࡀࡃࡀࡓ),[1] is the second month of the Mandaean calendar.[2] Light fasting is practiced by Mandaeans on the 25th day of Nuna.[3]

It is the Mandaic name for the constellation Pisces.[2] It currently corresponds to August / September in the Gregorian calendar due to a lack of a leap year in the Mandaean calendar.
