ArchivesRe: Question Regarding Name Day(s) For Sarah/Sara
in reply to a message by veeduh96
The reason for the different dates is likely because Sarah is an Old Testament name, and therefore it has a relatively short history of usage as a name in continental Europe. There isn’t a universal nameday for Sarah, because there isn’t a well-known St Sarah.
Looking through Spanish sources, there seeems to be several possible namedays for Sara (https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sara_(nombre), depending on which minor saint you choose.
In France, namedays are often not related to Catholic feast days, especially for newer names or names whose usage isn’t related to a Catholic Saint.
In Portugal, namedays aren’t celebrated.
