Kirsti/Kirsten
Navnedag 13/11
Nordisk form av Kristine, som betyr "kristen". Allment navn i Norge siden
1700-tallet.
Kirsti/Kirsten star for trygghet. Rolig, stabil og med en uendelig
talmodighet blir hun krumtappen i alle familier. Men om hun noen gang blir
sint, da rister jorden i sine grunnvoller.
You can post or e-mail. Thanks in advance,

Kirsti/Kirsten
Nameday 13 Nov
Nordic form for Kristine, which means 'Christian' (i.e. religious - not the
name). Common name in Norway since the 16th century.
Kirsti/Kirsten stands for safety. Quiet, stable and with an infinite
patience she'll be the cornerstone of any family. But if she ever gets
angry, the earth itself will start to shake.
Exactly what 'nameday' means I don't really know. Probably a remnant from
a belief that each deity/saint had their own day or some such.

In Finnish calendar every single day is dedicated for someones name. Only
first of January is date that's nobodys nameday. Have any other countries
that kind of namedays? (according to previous text it seems that there's
namedays also in Norway).

A nameday is the death day of a saint of the Catholic or the Orthodox churches,
in this case probably the death day of a St. Christine
(but I don't know anything about this person.)
It is believed that a saint comes into heaven at this day,
so it's his actual birthday, in a theological sense.
It is also believed that he prays for all the ones named after him.
In some catholic regions, for instance in Poland,
all women named Kristina would celebrate Nov 13 in much the same way,
with presents and such,
as the usual birthday is celebrated in other regions.
In Germany this custom is rarely practiced any more,
even in catholic areas.
And in Scandinavia, as I see, nobody even heard of it.
Something different:
When I read the translation of what Kirsti/Kristina stands for,
I wondered where this characterization came from:
>Kirsti/Kirsten stands for safety. Quiet, stable and with an infinite
>patience she'll be the cornerstone of any family. But if she ever gets

Sounds pretty much like a characterization of Kristin Lavransdatter,
the trilogy of Sigrid Undset.

Name days in the Nordic countries are not Saint's days, but just names
stuck into the calendar. I don't who the poster was who didn't know
what "name day" meant, but as indicated in the posting from Finland,
name days are a part of life here.

We've got them in Sweden.. Noone celebrates them though. Perhaps because
most of the names are like "Hartvig" and "Beata".

Huh! Well, my Grandma (bless her heart) used to send me cards on
my nameday, December 12. She's Scandinavian...go figure.

I agree. I would say Kristen Lavransdatter was rather INDEPENDENT, in
an opposition to the Church. I still can't figure out why she waivered
at times...perhaps to please her parents. If she had "done right",
she could very well have been the cornerstone of her family. Irony.
Her family fell apart. Even her dad broke down at the end.
Great book, though.

A sad story! But I guess you're right; few people notice whose
day it is. Here in Sweden the list of names has been revised so as
to bring in more current names, and each day has been given several
names, but apparently this hasn't had much effect.
Today is Josefina's and Josefin's day! Unfortunately, these happen to
be a couple of old-style names that aren't very common these days, so
I can't think of anybody to congratulate. On the other hand, maybe
there are lots and lots of little girls named Josefina? Many of the
old-style names have become popular in recent years.

My namesday was a week and a half ago.
AND I waited anxiously all day to come home from work
to see how many namesday -cards had I received.
None.
And nobody even bought me beer in the evening when I

There are two or three names for every day, except some days that have no
name at all, e.g. Feb 2nd, Kyndelsm{ssodagen. There is something peculiar
about the "alternative" names, though. Apparently, they are generally chosen
so that they are similar to the other names of that day. For instance,
tomorrow we have Henrietta, Harriet and Harry -- all of them starting
with an 'H', and the latter two being very similar (but why not couple
Henrietta with Henry?). But consider the names of Sept 24: Bartolomeus
and...(ta daa!)...Carita and Rita! And there are lots more examples
of when one name out of three sticks out like that. If one bothers
to check it out, one could perhaps find days when all three are dissimilar.
Anyone knows on what grounds these alternatives are chosen?
Btw, March 25 is a day with two totally dissimilar names; Marie and
Beb}delsedag. :-) :-)

The poster who didn't know what a 'name-day' is was probably me.
I am Norwegian and have never met that concept in real life. Of course,
these days I'm at university, so the whole matter is moot, but
nevertheless...
I know when I was born, but not when I was given my name. I don't think
there's anything unusual about that in Norway. Of course, my Greek friends
have more or less the other problem.
Having said that, I very much doubt that there ever was a saint called
'Reidar' anyway... :-) (Of course, my middle name _does_ have a
corresponding saint (St. George), but as I've stopped using that name, who
cares?)
Any Norwegians out there to whom the concept of a name-day _is_ a part of
everyday life?

Well, I for one always celebrate my "namnsdag". That could have
something to do with the fact that it's also my birthday - December 21
:-). And three days later is Christimas Eve. Do you think I was upset
about this when I was younger? :-) Of course, it would be even worse to
be a girl called Eva, born on Christmas Eve, since all three events then
would coincide...

Not strictly true, unlike the other nordic countries the danish
universityalmanac has kept the old list of day-names almost intact,
and it is all the old catholic saints (and a few mundane ones).
In Norway the names disappeared from the almanac in 1912, in Iceland
they disappeared in 1971, In Sweden the name list was transformed and
modernized in 1901. The Danish almanac has kept the name list, that
found it's final form in the 1720's, most of the names stems from the
german almanacs of the 16th century.
All this said few people in Denmark uses these names or are even aware
that they exist, although at least one major newspaper "Politiken"
each day has a column "Fra dag til dag" (From day to day) where they
give the name of the day and a description of the person behind the
name.
For those interested in further information of this I recommend
reading the "N|gle til Almanakken - en ledsager til hvert }rs almanak"

"K|benhavns Universitet" (University of Copenhagen). ISBN: 87-17-05112-1

taken even further. Most Swedes have a first and middle name. Many
have 2 middle names. This was the case with both exchange daughters
(Mai ]sa Linnea and Sara June Maria). WE did birthdays and all
possible name days! Any excuse for baked goodies. We even did a
Princess Tort, not an easy trick without proper mandel massa for the
covering and rose!

I think it has more to do with the Christion Church than with the language.
I know Russia has (or had) namedays and they are associated with the saints.
I don't think Russia falls into either of the above categories.
I think the early Christian church everywhere celebrated a different saint
on each day, but the Scandinavians kept the traditions alive longer....
But I can't name a specific reference to support this idea so if
anyone has proof otherwise, I'd be interested to hear it.

Hold it. Namedays are a catholic tradition. A person used
to get the name of the saint on whose birthday he/she was
born. In fact I have a friend whose nameday is his birthday,
because he was named after "his" saint.
It seems the protestant church in Sweden (don't know about
other nordic countries) has taken over quite a few catholic
traditions (i.e they also have priests, as opposed to other
protestant churches); so namedays obviously had a meaning
in protestant Sweden, not only in catholic South,
at least for a while.

Adolf' and 'Martin Luther' but I have in this case used '-' to indicate
that it was not Gustav one day and Adolf the next, but in this case the
full name of ONE actual person. '-' by itself means that no name is connected
to this date.
As usual, } is aa, ] is AA, { is ae, [ is AE, | is oe and \ is OE (blast this

The Swedish list posted in this group before was the list from 1901. This
was a revised version of a still older version, everything originating
in the catholic days of saints.
In 1901 the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences had the publication
of almanacs as a privilige, so it was clear who decided which names should
be in the calender. (The Academy used the company Almqvist&Wiksell as
publisher for almanacs.) The privilege was retracted in 1972 (or 1973?).
The largest publisher of almanacs today in Sweden is the Esselte corporation
(which had bought Almqvist&Wiksell). As such, they obviously think that
they are the successors of the Academy of Sciences and may decide
what the calender should look like.
In 1986, thinking that the list of 1901 was getting
old, they introduced a new list for name days. Other almanac publishers
followed after a while. The new list retained all the names
from 1901 but on each day there were two extra names. The choice of these
new names was critised by many people (quite justly, IMHO, the names were
sometimes ridiculous).
Now Esselte has presented another new list,
to be introduced in 1993. The new things in this list (compared with the 1901
list) are:
1. Except for a few days of special significance, there are two names for
each day.
2. Almost all 1901 names are still there. Some rare and elderly names have
been discarded (Napoleon is gone, Tiburtius is still with us!). Some names
have been moved to new days.
3. In the 1901 calender, there were eight days without names (religious and
other holidays). In the new calender, there are only two: "ny}rsdagen" (New
Year's Day) and "juldagen" (Christmas Day).
4. Of three historical memorial days, only one is left: Gustav Adolf (6/6).
We have lost Olaus Petri (19/4) and Martin Luther (10/11).
Personally, I think the revision could have waited till the year 2001.
These revisions need not to be done more often than each 100 years.
I think that the nice thing with the name days tradition is the feeling
of continuity with the old times, the farmer's year when things should
be done on particular name days, not numerical dates.
Anyhow I am happy that the 1986 list is dead, but
I wonder how many calendar revisions the tradition of celebrating name days
("namnsdagar") can take.
A append the new list and apologise for possible typing errors (I did check
it a number of times).
As usual } == "a" with ring (aa), ] == "A" with ring (AA), { == "a" with two
dots (ae), | == "o" with two dots (oe), \ == "O" with two dots (OE).
I do not know whether Esselte will put the two names on each day in some
particular order. Here they are arranged alphabetically.

> post a list?
Here is my list of Finnish namedays. I wrote this once when some friend
of mine asked could I do a list of female and male names in Finnish.
Later I joined the female and male lists, because I needed a coherent
grep-able file for my .login-script that checks whose nameday is now.
All typos are mine.
