Key facts
Thomas at a glance
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 Thomas a Χρόνια Πολλά
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
Formal — an elder, or with respect
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.
