Naming Day
Naming Day is a special celebration in various cultures where a child is formally given their name. This event often includes family gatherings, religious ceremonies, or cultural rituals that signify the importance of the name in the child's identity. It can be a significant milestone for both the child and the family, marking the transition into a new phase of life.
In some traditions, such as those observed in Eastern Orthodox Christianity, a Naming Day may coincide with the feast day of a saint after whom the child is named. This day is often celebrated annually, similar to a birthday, and can involve parties, gifts, and well-wishes from friends and family.
