Ṣilmia (

Classical Mandaic: ࡑࡉࡋࡌࡉࡀ) is the fifth month of the Mandaean calendar.[1][2]

Silmia, which literally means 'sculptures',[3]: 210  is the Mandaic name for the constellation Gemini.[1] It currently corresponds to Nov / Dec in the Gregorian calendar due to a lack of a leap year in the Mandaean calendar.
