A name saint is a Christian saint who is traditionally associated with a person's given name. These saints are often chosen as patrons or protectors for individuals who bear their name. Many people of Christian faith believe that having a name saint can bring them guidance, blessings, and spiritual support throughout their life. It is common for individuals to celebrate their name saint's feast day in their honor, often with prayers or special rituals. The idea of name saints has roots in the early Christian tradition of naming children after revered saints in the hopes of invoking their intercession and protection.
