Last Quarter moon occurs approximately one week after Full Moon and one week before the next New Moon. This moon happens when a line drawn from the Sun to the Earth is at 90 degrees from a line drawn from the Earth to the Moon, and the Moon is to the west of the Sun. Called a Quarter Moon because you are seeing half of the side facing Earth, which accounts for only one-fourth of the total surface of the Moon. more info....

In this phase the Moon is between the Earth and the Sun and we can not see the Moon due to the glare of the sun. The “New Moon” is also called “No Moon“. more info....

It occurs two weeks after New Moon, a week after First Quarter Moon, and a week before Last Quarter Moon. If you use the same reasoning as we do with "quarter" Moons, you would call this the "Half Moon," since we see only half the surface of the Moon. more info....
