Name Day List - 09.01

International Name Day Observations

On January 9, the United States name day schedule presents a lengthy list of feminine names, all based around the concepts of beauty or youth, including Belinda, Linda, and the many variations of Melinda. The largest single list of related names belongs to Estonia, which honors ten variations revolving around Veli, such as Veiko, Vello, and Veljo, reflecting a strong linguistic theme. Neighboring Nordic nations follow suit with Finland celebrating Veijo and Veikko, while Sweden and Norway both share the recognition of Gunnar. A common denominator in Southern and Central Europe is the proliferation of names connected to ancient Rome or religion, demonstrated by Antoni, Bazylissa, and Marcelina in Poland, and the lone name Massimo in Italy. This date connects the Iberian Peninsula with Austria through the mutual recognition of Julian, a name also celebrated in Denmark. Eastern European nations like Latvia, which celebrates Aksels and Kaspars, and Croatia, honoring Julijan and Miodrag, further showcase the broad tapestry of traditions observed on January 9.
