Name Day List - 12.12

International Name Recognition

December 12 marks name day observances in the USA primarily featuring the related names Finley, Finn, and Fiona, complemented by the Spanish variations Guadalupe, Lupe, and Lupita, along with Mekhi. Analyzing the European lists reveals several interesting linguistic connections and geographic distributions for this date. For instance, the feminine honor Chantal spans from France to Spain, where it is observed alongside Guadalupe, demonstrating a strong regional presence. A related religious figure inspires the lengthy Giovanna Francesca di Chantal celebrated in Italy. Central Europe shares several distinct female honors, notably Dagmara in both Lithuania and Poland, and the closely related names Otilija (Latvia) and Otília (Slovakia). Masculine names such as Spiros (Greece) and its variations Spiro and Spiridon (Bulgaria) anchor the Southeastern observances, contrasting with the Scandinavian picks of Peggy and Pia in Norway and Epimachus in Denmark.
