The origin of word honeymoon

After coming to know what is strawberry moon , I was curious about the origin of widely used word honeymoon .Here is my search result.
The term honeymoon refers to the month after wedding . It was in the days of Babylon . They followed lunar calender.
After a month of wedding , the bride's father used to give the groom , a bottle of honey beer . Hence the name for that month became " honey month " and later it has taken the form as honey moon.
