Name Day Calendar
Name Day Calendar “He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice.” John 10:3b-4 Name Day Celebration Latvian Style Latvia is one of the few countries in Europe that has the tradition of celebrating Name Days. This unique tradition began as part of the early Christian Church calendar to commemorate the saints and angels. The practice then moved to celebrating the people who were named after a saint. Eventually, other names were added to the calendar to celebrate all people’s names. There are one to five names assigned to each day of the year. The dates and names can’t be interchanged. During Leap Year, February 29 is an open date to celebrate names that are not included in the calendar. Another date reserved as an open date to celebrate names not on the calendar annually is May 22. Name Day is a large part of the culture in Latvia! All the calendars, diaries, and notebooks have the Names printed with the corresponding date. Radio Stations at the beginning of the morning news, broadcast whose name is being celebrated that day. The larger newspapers print the names next to their date of issue for that particular day. It’s like a birthday, but in some ways even better. Your name is mentioned everywhere, even your cell phone providers send you a text greeting. On your Name Day you receive flowers (a standard gift of celebration in Latvia) students and adults alike bring sweets or chocolates to recognize and celebrate. Your family has a cake waiting for you as well as for visitors that may surprise you with a visit. The anticipation and surprises follow you throughout the day, and it makes you feel very special! The following calendar can be used year after year to celebrate the Name Days with your students, co-workers, church family and friends. Each date has the Latvian names (in red) followed by a set of names in English (in blue). If the Latvian name is also a common name in English (in green and bold) we didn’t repeat it. Please use the February 29 and May 22 dates in reserve for the names of people we do not have listed. Enjoy the Name Day celebration – bringing a little bit of Latvia here to North America.
