Χρόνια Πολλά

Send Angelos a Χρόνια Πολλά

Χρόνια Πολλά Άγγελος 8 Νοεμβρίου onomasti

A name day matters more than a birthday in a Greek family — and everyone sends Χρόνια Πολλά. Here is a card to send, and the correct Greek to write, whether or not you can type it yourself.

Warm — someone close

Χρόνια πολλά!The everyday wish — “many years”.
Να τα εκατοστίσεις!“May you live to a hundred” — the traditional wish, to someone close.

Formal — an elder, or with respect

Χρόνια πολλά και ευτυχισμένα!A fuller, warmer wish — “many years, and happy ones”.
Να τα εκατοστίσετε!“May you live to a hundred” — with respect, or to more than one person.

The card and the wishes are in Greek — the way you would actually send them. We never machine-translate; these are fixed, correct greetings, and the name is woven in only where Greek grammar lets us do it without guessing.
