Czech Name Days
Discover
over 365 Czech names that are part of the Czech calendar!
In the Czech Republic, every day of the year is someone's name day ("svátek" or "jmeniny" in Czech - the latter is more formal).
It is a reason to celebrate, wish the person a Happy
Name
Day, and buy a little present, like flowers and a box
of chocolates.
Remember: Never give anyone an even number of flowers
(2, 4,
6...). Such bouquets are used at funerals. The number should be odd (1, 3, 5...).
Find out if your name has an
equivalent in Czech and what its diminutive version would
be. Learn on which days
your friends' or family members' names fall and how
to wish them a Happy Name Day in Czech!
