Marcheshvan-Cheshvan

What is the proper name of the month Cheshvan or Mar cheshvan in regards to shtaros and when we bless the new moon?
Thank you

Answer:

For purposes of shtaros, and in particular for gittin, the month is written Marchesvan (with one vav; Even Ha’ezer 126).

Marcheshvan is also used for blessing the new month on Shabbos Mevarchim.

For general purposes of reference, the shortened Cheshvan is often used.
