Name choice of Saint Patron as role models

For many people in Catholic regions, the name-day is just as important as the birthday. Parents usually choose their child's first name carefully, as it is something that every person carries for life.

In the Middle Ages it was a tradition to give a child its name according to the date of baptism. This means that if a child is baptized on the name day of George, for example, it can also be baptized with the name George or a related name. Therefore many people carry the name of a saint. For each first name there is also the appropriate name patron - for some, there are even several.
