Name Day List - 14.12

Global December Name Observances

Name Day celebrations on December 14 span continents, covering American names like Boyd, Boyden, and Byrd alongside a wide variety of European observances. The Germanic root names appear frequently across Scandinavia, with Stein and Steinar celebrated in Norway, and Sixten and Sten listed in Sweden. Eastern Europe shows a significant cluster of unique regional names, including the Estonian trio Eho, Hingo, and Hengo, and the Lithuanian Kintvile. A small number of names, such as Alfred, demonstrate pan-European usage, appearing in both Poland and Lithuania (as Alfredas). Furthermore, the Polish list is expansive, recognizing seven names, including Alfred, Izydor, and Spirydion, emphasizing traditional Polish Christian naming patterns. The observance is truly global, ranging from Adam in Bulgaria and Apollonia in Ukraine to Odile in France and Crispus in Denmark.
