Name Day List - 25.08

International Day of Celebrations

Name day commemorations in the USA on August 25 include a distinct set of names such as Lanard, Lennie, and the biblical names Dorcas and Tabitha. This list contrasts sharply with the unified theme observed throughout much of Europe, which heavily favors variations of the Germanic name Ludwig. The masculine name appears in at least ten countries, establishing it as the most widely celebrated root name on this date. From Western Europe, where France recognizes Louis and Spain names Ginés, the pattern extends eastward into the Baltics, where Latvia celebrates Ludvigs and Lithuania honors Liudvikas. Scandinavian countries, including Sweden and Norway, feature both the masculine form Ludvig and the popular feminine counterpart, Louise. Further southern recognition includes Italy’s Ludovico and Greece’s observance of Bartholomeos and Titos, confirming a truly international observance.
