Greek Name Day: Efkratis

Name Days are often named after a Christian saint or martyr and are mainly celebrated in Catholic and Eastern Orthodox countries. On this day, the holy person is celebrated, as well as anyone named after this person. Often, these celebrations are more important than birthdays.

On this day, Eucrates the Ascetic- Martyr is celebrated. Those who celebrate have names derived from Eucrates, such as Efkratis, Efkratos and Efkratoula.
