Name Day
In Christianity, a name day is a tradition in many countries of Europe and the Americas, as well as Christian communities elsewhere. It consists of celebrating a day of the year that is associated with one's baptismal name, which is normatively that of a List of biblical names, biblical character or other saint. Where they are popular, individuals celebrate both their name day and their birthday in a given year.

History The celebration of name days has been a tradition in Catholic and Eastern Orthodox countries since the Middle Ages, and has also continued in some measur ...
