How many different nameday calendars are there?

You can help us answer this question by participating in our on-line survey about nameday calendars. If you have treasured away a nameday calendar from the past, regardless of language, please take the time to check our records for your name and compare them with the calendar you have.

Example

Searching our records you find that the name "Maira" has three namedays: 13 February, 20 June, and 11 October. On which day is Maira in your calendar?

You can use the Latvian monthly nameday calendar to find Latvian names for a particular day. Which other names and/or variations exist for these days? In which language?	13 February	Maira, Malda, Melita
	20 June	Imula, Maira, Rasa, Rasma
	11 October	Maira, Monta, Silva, Tince

Special Considerations

Diacritical letters indicate a change in pronunciation and are represented with a backward slash "\". The presence or absence of a diacritical letter may result in a name falling on a different date.	Ainars Ain\ars	17 July 13 June
	Mairita Mair\ita	01 June 10 May
Note: The use of a backward slash "\" preceding a diacritical letter, is designed to translate most names, for many languages, independent of your font and typeset. If this system does not work for you, please let us know about the details in your comments.

Variations

Variations in names and dates are documented reflections of change in social and cultural trends. You can help us identify these trends by providing us with information you find in your calendar. Your feedback will assist us in developing an end product rich in content, easy to use, and informative for all cultures - all ages. So please take a few moments to complete the questions below, on-line, or print this page and fill it out at your leisure. Consider printing an extra copy to pass along to a friend or acquaintance.

Responses can be returned to us electronically by submitting the form. Alternatively, you can send copies of printed forms and notes to our postal address.
