namedays.gr

The present site is an effort by Orthodox Christians ecclesiastically belonging to the Church of Greece with Archbishop His Beatitude Hieronymos II.
According to the Greek Orthodox tradition, nearly every day of the year is dedicated to a Christian saint or Martyr. When someone is named after one of those saints, that day becomes their “name day” and, traditionally, is celebrated.
The present Greek name day portal includes more than 3800 Greek first (given) names and is the most complete namedays database on the internet today.
Soon in a separate database we will be adding 28000 more names as they have been researched by scholars at the University of Oxford.
