Name Day List - 16.02
Name Day Diversity Worldwide
February 16 features names in the USA centered on rugged and familial themes, specifically recognizing Cliff and its longer forms, as well as the warmly abbreviated Sonny and its variants. Globally, the naming pattern for this date is heavily weighted toward names derived from the root *Julius*, showing up in nearly ten countries across Northern and Central Europe. For instance, countries such as Denmark, Norway, and Austria celebrate Juliane or Juliana, while the Baltic states feature Julija, Julijona, and Juliana. Interestingly, Spain dedicates this date entirely to major Old Testament prophets, moving away from the classical European trend. In contrast, Poland and France introduce unique names to the roster, such as Bernard and Onésime, respectively, adding geographical depth to the NameDay observations on February 16.
