Name Days: Tradition, Meaning, and Celebration

Name days in Greece are a significant cultural tradition, often celebrated more than birthdays. Each day of the year is dedicated to a specific saint or religious figure, and people named after that saint celebrate their name day. The tradition is rooted in the Greek Orthodox Church, where many names are derived from saints, apostles, or religious figures. Celebrants typically receive well-wishes, flowers, and gifts from friends and family, often hosting open-house gatherings. It’s common to offer treats like sweets and coffee to visitors. While name days can vary depending on the calendar, they are widely recognized and respected in Greek society. The celebrations can range from intimate family gatherings to larger social events. This occasion is seen as a way of honoring one's religious and cultural heritage.
