Name day (Latvia)
The list of name days in Latvia gives for each calendar day the first names for whose bearers this day is celebrated in Latvia as a name day ( lett . Vārda diena ). According to tradition, name day plays a major role in the life of Latvians . While the name day is celebrated as the feast day of the person concerned, the birthday is of secondary importance.
The given names come from the Lutheran tradition originally cultivated by the Latvians and Germans living in the Baltic States . It was expanded to include pagan deities and other figures from Latvian mythology , such as Laima or Lāčplēsis . The annual list of name days results from the calendar, which in Latvia contains the name days. Over the years, "extinct" names are discarded and new, "popular" names added. An overview of the different names in the years 1915, 1923 and 1993 is given in the source given under web links . The name days are reviewed annually under the leadership of the Latvian Academy of Sciences ( Latvijas zinātņu akadēmija ) and redefined if necessary. The decisions made are reflected in the regularly published "Dabas un vēstures kalendārs" ("nature and history calendar").
In Latvian, the gender of the named person is derived from the ending of the first name:
- male first names end in s , š or o
- female first names end in a or e
