A '''baptismal name''' is a name given to a newly-baptised Orthodox Christian. For a lengthy time in the majority of Orthodox history, Orthodox Christians are have been given the names of Orthodox saints(e.g. Mary, John, Demetrios, Olga) or names that reference Biblical events (e.g. Evangelos, which is a reference to the Annunciation).
The following This article is a list of names whothat have:* Orthodox saints, perhaps unexpectedly, have attached to either the original name (e.g. Theophany for Tiffany) or to a diminutive (e.g. Gerald for Jerry), or* Orthodox saints attached whose names mean the same thing (e.g. St. Alban for Bianca, since they both mean "white"; or St. Maurice for Blake, since they both mean "black"), or* If these are not available, a phonetic "closest match" may be given, where the name sounds similar to thema saint's name (e.g. St. Rumon for Raymond).
(Note: However, this is not designed to be a list of for existing matchups between names with which have no real connectionrelation (e.g. For example, Hannah can be matched with St Anna, because it's the same name; but Panayiotis for Peter and Panayiotis have no direct relation).
