Ahoj, komunita!
In Slovakia, people don’t just celebrate their birthdays—they also celebrate their names. Namedays are an important tradition, often filled with flowers, sweets, and heartfelt wishes. But where does this custom come from? And what do names like Štefan, Zuzana, or Erik really mean?
In our latest blog post, we take a closer look at the origins of name days in Christian tradition and explore why some names are incredibly common across the country. We also reflect on how modern trends are shaping the way people name their children today, and dive into the stories behind three well-known names that carry meaning, history, and character.
