Name Day List - 24.06

Worldwide Day of Naming

June 24 marks a massive collection of NameDays in the USA, encompassing over twenty entries that prominently feature international variants like Ivan, Ian, Jean, Juan, and their female counterparts, Giovanna and Juana. The common thread linking these diverse celebrations across the continent is the tradition associated with St. John, documented specifically in the NameDay notes for Croatia and Italy. Estonia, Finland, and Norway honor numerous short forms, including Johannes, Hans, Juss, and Jan, emphasizing the depth of this heritage in the North. Meanwhile, Latvia and Lithuania feature names like Janis and Jonas alongside less common selections such as Eiviltas. Moving south, countries like Poland, Czechia, and Hungary focus specifically on the Slavic forms Jan and Iván, although Poland diversifies with names like Emilia and Wilhelm. This date therefore represents a powerful example of how a single origin tradition can generate hundreds of distinct linguistic celebrations worldwide.
