Name days in Poland
In Poland the name day is called imieniny, and it is one of the most important personal celebrations. Many celebrate it as much as their birthday, with flowers, cake and the song Sto lat, meaning a hundred years.
The Polish calendar usually has several names per day, sometimes four or five. As a result, most Polish names appear several times a year. People usually celebrate the date closest to their birthday, or the one their family has always kept.

How are imieniny celebrated in Poland?
Imieniny are celebrated with flowers, cake and the song Sto lat, which wishes you a hundred years of life. The greeting is Wszystkiego najlepszego z okazji imienin. For many people, especially older generations, the name day matters as much as the birthday or more.
Why does the Polish calendar have so many names?
The Polish list combines saints' names with old Slavic names such as Mieczysław and Dobiesława. The list here has almost 1,700 entries and just over 760 different names. 2 January holds the record, with 17 names on one day.
How many name days can a Polish name have?
A lot. Maria appears on 29 days in the list, Jan on more than 40 and Piotr on 35. Someone called Jan usually picks one day, for example 24 June after John the Baptist, or the date the family has always kept.
Which name days are especially well known in Poland?
Andrzejki, the evening before Andrzej's name day on 30 November, is an old night of fortune-telling, where people pour melted wax into water. Mikołaj on 6 December is when children get presents. On Christmas Eve, 24 December, Adam and Ewa have their name day.
My name has several days, which one should I choose?
There is no rule. Many celebrate the day closest after their birthday, others the one belonging to the saint they were baptised after. Search for your name above to see every day it appears.
