Name Day List - 28.01

Observing Global Celebrations

Name day observances on January 28 in the USA prominently feature feminine names derived from the root name Charles, notably Charleen, Charlene, and Charlotte. The Baltic region and Nordic countries show a strong affinity for the masculine name Karl and its derivatives; Estonia alone lists seven variations, including Kaarel and Kaaro, while Denmark uses Carolus. The name Manfred, along with Thomas, appears on the calendars for France and Austria, suggesting a common naming influence shared across Western and Central Europe. Female derivatives are particularly strong in the calendars of Austria, Norway, and Hungary, which celebrate Karoline or Karola alongside the male version. Southern European nations display unique choices, such as Angela Merici in Italy and Tomas in Spain, often focusing on historical or religious figures. In contrast, Lithuania’s list features distinctly regional names like Gedautas and Nijole, illustrating the wide divergence of customs across the European map on January 28.
