Send us Fan Mail

I’m excited to share my latest podcast episode featuring George—a guest whose insights into Greek culture and naming traditions truly captivated me.

In our conversation, George revealed the fascinating meaning behind his name, “farmer” or “earth-worker,” and how he learned its significance from a young age. We explored the rich history of Greek naming customs, including the tradition of naming boys after their paternal grandfathers—a practice that beautifully preserves family heritage.

But here’s something that genuinely surprised me: George introduced me to the Greek tradition of “Name Day.” The story behind this tradition—and how it connects to saints, history, and identity—is something you’ll want to hear firsthand.

If you’re curious about the stories our names carry, the influence of Greek culture, or want to discover what makes “Name Day” so special, tune in to this episode. George’s warmth and wisdom made this discussion one you won’t want to miss.
