"Allhallowmas" meaning in English

See Allhallowmas in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Proper name

Etymology: Allhallowmas can be superficially analysed as a compound of all + hallow (“saint, holy person”) + -mas (“mass, church festival, holiday”) as in Christmas, Marymas / Marymass, Michaelmas), but it's actually a direct descendant of the Middle English and Old English terms for All Saints' Day, whose parts mean the same as in the modern expression: (Middle English Alhalwemesse) and Old English ealra hālgena mæsse (literally “the mass of all the saints”, from eall, halga, and mæsse).
