This name keeps more than one day. At least one of them is a movable feast — its date is set relative to Pascha (Orthodox Easter), which itself shifts each year, so that day changes from year to year. The remaining day (or days) are fixed calendar dates and do not move. onomasti computes the observed date for every year.

Χρόνια Πολλά

Send Theodoros a Χρόνια Πολλά

Χρόνια Πολλά Θεόδωρος 17 Φεβρουαρίου 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.
