Who has a nameday today?

What are namedays and why are they celebrated?

A nameday is a tradition where each day of the year is associated with one or more given names. In the Czech Republic and Slovakia, every day has assigned names. This tradition dates back centuries and is an important part of Czech and Slovak culture.

Unlike birthdays which celebrate the day you were born, namedays are celebrated according to the name calendar. It's a great opportunity to send wishes to loved ones, colleagues, or friends. Many people consider namedays as important as birthdays.
