NAME OF THE DAY: Holiday

With the holiday season here, today I will be discussing the festive name: πŸ“›πŸŽ€Holiday πŸŽ‰

Holiday is a word : "from the Old English hāligdΓ¦g meaning "holy day" as it was originally used to mark religious festivals and celebrations," Nameberry explains.

Nameberry recognizes πŸŽ€Holiday as a girl's name and points out πŸŽ€Holiday has been "a quietly used option since the 50s" and "in a recent count, just 21 girls were called πŸŽ€Holiday 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.πŸ“›  

Other forms of πŸŽ€Holiday include: πŸ“›HollidayπŸ“›HolidaeπŸ“›HolidayeπŸ“›Holladay

Nameberry's say on πŸŽ€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 πŸ“California and πŸ“Wyoming. 

The name πŸŽ€Holiday made it onto the πŸ“›NameberryπŸ’ Baby Name Trends 2026 πŸ“ƒlist as a 

Showgirl NameπŸ“›"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 πŸ“›πŸŽ€Holiday. πŸ’— It's a very pretty, πŸ¦„ special, πŸ˜ƒ 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. πŸ‘ŒπŸΎ
