With the holiday season here, today I will be discussing the festive name: ππHoliday π
Holiday is a
word :
"from the Old English hΔligdΓ¦g meaning "holy day" as it was originally used to mark religious festivals and celebrations," Nameberry explains.
Nameberry recognizes π
Holiday as a girl's name and
points out π
Holiday has been "a quietly used option since the 50s" and "in a recent count, just 21 girls were called πHoliday in the US, making this a rare choice that doesn't sound too out there." But Behind the Name proclaims
Holiday as a masculine name as well. However, Holiday is more so used as a
surname.
π
Nameberry's say on π
Holiday: "A fun and confident choice, Holiday is a celebratory name, particularly associated with Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hannukah, and New Year, and with rest, leisure, and vacations more generally. Fitting for a winter baby, but totally sunny too." The most Holidays live in πCalifornia and πWyoming.
✨Showgirl Nameπ: "Showgirl names appear to be all about glitz and glam, but scratch the surface and you'll find a wealth of strength behind them."
I really love the name ππHoliday. π It's a very pretty, π¦ special, π happy name. I do like it more so as a girl's name because of the 'Holi' part in it — but it being a boy's name could work — if the 'Day' part was used as a nickname. ππΎ
