Name Day List - 06.12

December Sixth Observance

On December 6, the USA features one of the longest lists of acknowledged Name Days, incorporating both masculine and feminine forms such as Nicholas, Nick, Nicole, and Nicolette. The core theme across nearly all celebrating nations is the reverence for this historical figure, resulting in a global prevalence of names like Nikolaus, Nikolaos, and Nikolajs. While Northern Europe features concise versions—like Nils in Norway and Niilo in Finland—the Baltic states offer both common spellings and distinctive regional additions like Bilmantas and Norvyde in Lithuania. Greece offers specific variations like Nick, Nikos, and the feminine Nikoletta, demonstrating adaptation in the Mediterranean region. Even among the central European countries, the main name appears modified, such as Mikuláš in Slovakia and Miklós in Hungary. Whether recognized as Claus, Nicola, or Mikołaj, the prominence of this particular name dominates the calendar for this date.
