Name Day List - 12.02
Widespread European Name Celebrations
The list of name days for February 12 begins in the USA, where the tradition honors several variants of Abraham, including Abram, Bram, and Ibrahim, alongside the singular entry Darwin. Internationally, the observance is highly unified around the feminine name Eulalia, which appears on calendars from Spain to Denmark, Poland, and the neighboring countries of Croatia and Lithuania. A secondary powerful theme is the honor paid to Benedikt and related forms, celebrated simultaneously across Austria, Poland, Lithuania, and Croatia. Distinct Baltic traditions emerge, where Estonia and Finland share variations like Alma, Alme, Elma, and Elme, focusing on feminine names starting with A or E. The Slavic nations further diversify the list with names like Slavěna in Czechia and a long list of unique choices in Poland, including Radzim and Trzebisława. This February date strongly reflects classic religious observance combined with widespread regional diversification across both Nordic and Mediterranean cultures.
