Name Days: Tradition, Meaning, and Celebration

In Croatia, name days are widely celebrated, often with more enthusiasm than birthdays. Each day of the year is associated with one or more names, traditionally derived from saints or religious figures. People who bear the name of the saint being honored that day celebrate by receiving wishes, gifts, and sometimes even a small party. The celebration typically includes visiting friends and family, where well-wishers offer flowers, cakes, or cards. Although not a public holiday, name days are an important part of Croatian culture, especially among older generations. The tradition is rooted in Christianity, and many people attend church services to mark their name day. Unlike birthdays, name days don't involve any specific age milestones, making them more of a communal celebration. In general, name days are a cherished custom in several European countries, with each culture adding its unique flair to the observance.
