{{Main|Name days in Bulgaria}}
Name days ({{langx|bg|имени дни}}) in [[Bulgaria]] have almost always been associated with Bulgarian [[Eastern Orthodox]] celebrations. Some names can be celebrated on more than one day and some have even started following foreign traditions{{Citation needed|date=March 2009}} (like Valentina being celebrated on the [[Catholic Church|Catholic]] St. Valentine's Day).{{Citation needed|date=March 2009}}

Two of the most popular name days in Bulgaria are St. George's day ({{lang|bg|Гергьовден}}, celebrated on 6 May) and St. John's day (Ивановден, celebrated on 7 January).

Another example of a name day connected with Christianity is ''Tsvetnitsa'' ({{lang|bg|Цветница}}, [[Palm Sunday]]). On this day people with names derived from flowers, trees, herbs, etc., celebrate. Name days are frequently connected with some year or season features like ''Dimitrovden'' (Dimitar's day, 26 October) marking the beginning of winter and ''Gergyovden'' (George's day, 6 May) heralding the end of it according to traditional folklore.

Name days in Bulgaria are important and widely celebrated. Children celebrate their name days by bringing sweets and chocolates to school. By an ancient Bulgarian tradition, everybody is welcome on name days; there is no need to invite guests. Presents are given.

Common well-wishes include "May you hear your name from grandchildren and great-grandchildren!" ({{lang|bg|Да чуеш името си от внуци и правнуци!}}), "May you hear your name only with good!" ({{lang|bg|Да ти се чува името само за добро!}}) and "May your name be healthy and well!" ({{lang|bg|Да ти е живо и здраво името!}}).
