Countries and coverage

Each market has its own calendar, language, time zone and sources. Coverage below counts days with at least one listed name. In Romania, the daily Orthodox commemoration is shown separately from recorded name days.

Find a name day and send a wish

1. Choose a country, then use its calendar to pick a date or search for a name. The English homepage compares the same date across all countries.
2. Open a name page to see upcoming celebrations and related spellings. You can save names in your browser to find them again.
3. Choose a greeting, then copy the text or open the share options. The person sending the greeting chooses the recipient in their messaging app.

How dates are calculated

Today follows each calendar’s local time zone. Fixed dates, leap-day entries, effective years and movable celebrations are evaluated using the rules for that country.

For example, the Greek celebration of Saint George moves to 3 May in 2027. The Romanian calendar lists Gheorghe on 23 April. Use the country and year together when looking up or quoting a date.
