Karen: Name day

Name day

Karen's name day is celebrated on April 29 in Spain, August 2 in Norway, and November 25 in Greece and the USA.

Name background

Karen, a name of Danish origin, carries a rich history, ultimately derived from the Greek name Katherine, meaning "pure." While historically it evoked a sense of gentle elegance, in contemporary Western culture, the name Karen has unfortunately acquired a more complex and often negative connotation, associated with entitled or demanding behavior. This duality creates an interesting tension around the name's perception, blending traditional feminine qualities with a modern, albeit often unwelcome, social archetype. The mood of the name can therefore range from historically refined to a more modernly assertive, and it is overwhelmingly associated with the female gender.
