You should ALWAYS remember a Name Day. The NameDay Calendar is at the bottom of this page.
It is traditional to call and wish the person Wszystkiego Najlepszego.
It is also traditional to give a small gift. Information about the types of gifts appropriate for Name Day is here at Name Day Customs
The Name Day has its history in the Polish tradition of naming children after Saints. The importance of the Saints and their Feast Days (the date that the Saint was cannonized) resulted in many parents looking to the local priest or to the Roman Calendar to name their children. They typically chose the name of a Saint that had a Feast Day close to the birth or baptismal date of their child.
The Name Day is so important to Polish people that in many cases when people emigrated to the United States they gave the date of their Name Day as their date of birth.
Originally the day was for honoring one’s patron saint. But in modern times it is generally a time for parties and gift giving. But it still retains its importance. You should never forget a Name Day. And never forget a gift. A gift, however small, is appropriate.
