Name Day List - 21.01

Global Calendar Observation

On January 21, the United States observes name days for six individuals, notably Agnes, Ethan, and the variants Inez and Ynez. This date marks a massive convergence of name day traditions, heavily concentrated in Europe but spanning from North America to Eastern Orthodox regions. A central theme uniting dozens of countries is the classic name Agnes, which appears in almost every corner of Western and Northern Europe, including Germany, Austria, and Sweden. Eastern European nations, particularly Ukraine and Bulgaria, expand the list significantly with names like Candid, Valeria, and Maksim, showcasing diverse linguistic roots. Furthermore, special regional names are recognized in the Baltics, such as Agne and Aune, distinct from the celebrations in Greece, which honors Maximos and Evgenios. Overall, January 21 is characterized by both a widely shared principal name and deep regional variation in names honored.
