Is there a difference?

This is probably a somewhat silly question, but something I am curious about.

Are "reformed" and the "reformation" the same thing?

no silly questions. only silly uninformative answers.

reformed=generally those churches most influenced by the work of John Calvin. thinking primarily of Scottish Presbyterian and Dutch Reformed among lots of others.

reformation is an historical European period, roughly 1450-1650.
has to do with the rise of humanism via the greek and latin texts from Constantinpole, the rise of the nation state, and mostly the division of Christianity into roman catholic, lutheran and reformed.

Nice and concise answer. I don't have anything to add other than well done.
