Name Day Calendar - the most common Greek name days
ARE YOU LOOKING FOR GREEK GREETING CARDS? This is the name day calendar of the most common Greek names.Until now, it's been more common to celebrate the Greek name day than the birthday. And even if birthday is celebrated it certainly doesn't mean missing out on the name day celebration! Here's a list of the most common Greek names and when they are celebrated. (Nick names in parenthesis). I also put the English version of the name next to the Greek, as many Greeks love to translate their name. Remember that the saint feast at the church commonly takes place the evening before!
