Name Day List - 09.12

Global Name Day Observances

On December 9, observances in the USA include the unique selections Kirby, Kirk, and Kirkwood, along with the classical female names Delfina and Delphina. This date highlights a significant geographic split between name styles across the world. Scandinavia and Eastern Europe heavily favor the widespread name Anna, with the list extending to over twenty variants across Finland, Sweden, and Bulgaria alone. Conversely, names related to the Biblical figure Joachim and the classical Leokadia anchor the celebrations throughout the Central European region, notably in Poland and Latvia. Estonia maintains a separate linguistic tradition, marking the day for Raido, Raigo, and Rait. Further west, France celebrates Pierre, while Spain recognizes Juan Diego, demonstrating global diversity.
