Today's Polish Name Day - New Feature

A new forum addition - Polish Name Days (Imieniny) - has been released. Every day a comprehensive list of Polish first names associated with the tradition of Name Days appears. You can find it on the bottom of the main page.

Yesterday they were on top.

variety is the spice of life ;)

So is it a celebration day like your Birthday?

i didnt notice them yesterday

see wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Name_day#Poland

Cool I like it:)

Now I have to find my name on the list

I see Krystyn has his names day today.... Nice name for a guy.


You won't find your name until April, May, June or July.

Renat??? never heard of a guy with that name.. hmm

women like it too because they can cellebrate something personal each year without having to reveal their age (which everybody knows anyway cuz the kids talk a lot)

I was wondering about that one too...hmmmmmm


That's why you tell your kids you're 20 because they think it's old enough.

I think it's got to do with Latin renatus - reborn

I did a search and found the nameday calender but I`m not on it?

Oh, I've been generically called "geezer" since my daughter was capable of understanding the word, so the age really lost its meaning :)

i wont be on the names closest to my name is apparently Tamara or Tekla :-S

if you're looking under "sledz", you'll never find it because nobody names their kids "sledz" anymore :)

ha, ha, ha....................sorry Sledziu, Sledziunio - maybe Dziunio:)

really I thought it was a popular name..lol



Hahaha nobody likes a smarty pants execpt of course me :)

All I could find were female names??

You have 5 days which you can chose as your names day, (in which I won't give out the exact dates in fear of losing your secret identity and then being stalked).

Actually, I think you should always choose the name day which comes first right after your birthday...not just any...that's what i heard.

Good addition :) Thanks Admin!

I think this is a great idea. The imieniny fascinated me from the day I stepped foot onto Poland. My husband and I both adopted one closest to our names - won't tell you though.

Now it's time for another great idea:

SMILEYS!!!!!!!!

Top left looked better. Top right [now] it's too small.

i noticed that this morning ... good place to have it though than down the bottom of the webpage :)

Please tell me people do not name their children Festus...

i was thinking that as well ..... poor thing if it is =S

We have someone where I work named Phestus

first name uncle :)

I think that everytime his name comes up on my phone

My name is Ian , but most Polish friends call me Jan , which is kinda nice........Can anyone tell me when is my name day..??? my birthday is on 19th november........
