Faoilleach or Faoilteach, anglicised as Fulteachs, futtick, furtock etc., is a Scottish Gaelic term which originally referred to a certain period in the and which refers to the first month of the year, January, in the modern language. Nowadays, the term has fallen out of English and Lowland Scots, but is still used in Gaelic for the month of January specifically. It would appear to be a very old term, as it seems to come from faol or faol-chù meaning a wolf, a creature which has been extinct in Scotland for centuries.
