I think if it is a recurring event you would just say "this month's xyz" or if it is just to mark a month since a once off xyz happened, you would say "it's been a month since xyz." There is no commonly used single word term.

Right, I had it from the 1785 Vulgar Tongue and as OneLook did not give it and the Worthless did not give I thought it might be hard to find. My Webster I forgot to check and that's dumb as it often has the one thing no one else has.

Interesting about that thesaurus: "peasant" does not come up as a synonym for farmer, but if you put in "peasant", "farmer" is among the synonyms.. Probably something to do with social rank..
