Name Day List - 06.01

Epiphany Global Name Celebrations

On January 6, the USA features an unusually long list of celebrated names, encompassing diverse entries such as Kahlil, Cheyanne, and the highly traditional Melchior and Rowan. The main unifying theme for name day observance on this date across Europe is the commemoration of the Epiphany. The names of the Magi—Balthazar, Melchior, and Kasper—appear prominently in the lists for Spain, Poland, and Sweden, directly referencing the Christian holiday. Specific Slavic countries offer extensive lists; for example, Bulgaria includes twelve different names such as Bogdana, Yordan, and Teodosii. In contrast, the Nordic countries exhibit concise lists; Finland recognizes Harri, and Norway honors Aslaug and Åslaug. Furthermore, names like Mélaine and Balthazar are honored in France, reflecting the widespread influence of the feast day tradition on January 6.
