Global Holiday & Nameday Calendar

A nameday is a tradition in many countries (especially in Europe) where each calendar day is associated with one or more given names. When a day comes around for your name, you celebrate your "nameday" — often with small gifts or gatherings, similar to a birthday. HolidaySync helps you remember these important cultural dates for friends and family across 20+ regions.

Countries with strong nameday traditions include Austria, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Croatia, Hungary, Italy, Lithuania, Latvia, Poland, Russia, Sweden, Slovakia, Spain, and the United States. The tradition varies in strength — in Greece and Poland, namedays are celebrated with great enthusiasm, while in other countries they're a smaller occasion.

Easter is a moveable feast that falls between March 22 and April 25 each year. HolidaySync calculates the exact date automatically using the standard Gregorian algorithm. Enable the "Catholic Liturgical Calendar" option to see Easter and all related moveable feasts (Ash Wednesday, Good Friday, Pentecost, etc.) on your calendar. The exact date for the current year is shown on the Catholic Calendar page.

A bank holiday is an official public holiday when banks and many businesses are legally required to close. The term is most commonly used in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Other countries use terms like "public holiday," "national holiday," or "statutory holiday" — but all refer to officially recognized days off. HolidaySync covers all of these under the umbrella of "public holidays."

HolidaySync overlays all their public holidays on a single calendar view, color-coded so you can tell them apart. This is ideal for global teams, international families, or anyone with connections across multiple countries.

The Catholic liturgical calendar is the annual cycle of seasons and feast days followed by the Catholic Church. It includes fixed feasts (like Christmas on December 25 and the Assumption on August 15) and moveable feasts whose dates shift each year (like Easter, Ash Wednesday, and Pentecost). HolidaySync computes all moveable feast dates mathematically, so they're always correct for the current year and beyond.

HolidaySync uses the Nager.at Public Holidays API, a well-maintained open-source dataset covering 90+ countries with contributions from government sources. Catholic feast dates are computed locally using the Gregorian Easter algorithm — no external API needed, so they're always accurate. Nameday data comes from nameday.abalin.net. We recommend verifying with official government sources for critical scheduling decisions.
