Anna’s name day is July 26 in Latvia’s traditional name-day calendar. The Latvian traditional calendar places Anna on that date alongside Ance and Annija. It is a precise answer for that calendar, not an answer for every Anna in the world.
The Latvian date: July 26
You can see the July 26 entry in our Latvian calendar and browse the whole month of July. The calendar distinguishes a traditional list from expanded names. We use the traditional list for exact search matches and display expanded text without pretending every spelling note is another independently verified name.
If the Anna you are celebrating follows Latvian custom, July 26 is a useful date to mark. A call, flowers or a small card can be enough. Our Latvian traditions guide explains the wider custom.
Why another calendar may disagree
Names travel across languages, while calendars are made by particular communities. A church feast, a national almanac and a family custom can associate Anna with different days. Even within one culture, a related name form may be celebrated with a main entry rather than appearing as an identical spelling. Before sending a time-sensitive greeting, ask the person which calendar or family date they use.
Swedish name-day calendars distinguish principal names from related forms. That distinction is one reason a search result can show more dates than a person actually observes. Our guide to multiple name-day dates walks through the other reasons.
What does Anna mean?
The name Anna is connected Anna with the Hebrew Hannah and the sense of grace. That is an etymological connection, not a personality prediction or proof that every bearer uses the same spelling or date.
A wish for Anna
Happy name day, Anna! I hope your day has a little room for laughter, good company and something just for you.
