MEN-SI-VER-SA-RY (mèn´se-vûr´se-rê) noun
1. The monthly recurring date of a past event, especially one of
historical, national, or personal importance: a first date
mensiversary; the mensiversary of the founding of Nerstone Pictures.
2. A celebration commemorating such a date.
from
Latin: mensis, month + versus, past participle of vertere, to turn.
If the word for the commemoration of a yearly event is anniversary, by
analogy the logical word for the commemoration of a monthly event
should be "mensiversary." "Anniversary" comes from the
Latin "annum,"
meaning year. (The "versary" part comes from a
Latin word referring
to turning.) The
Latin word for month is "mensis." Hence,
mensiversary. I've not found this word in any reputable
dictionary,
but perhaps exposure in Google Answers can help to put it there.

My girlfriend and I just celebrated our
first mensiversary.
On November 2nd, the 8th mensiversary of our family reunion in
Chicago, my family and I decided to take another trip
back to visit the sites.
