National Sandra Day is celebrated on May 2 to celebrate all those who bear the name. Sandra is a Greek female name meaning ‘protector of man.’ It is the short form of Alexandra or Cassandra, which can be spelled as Kassandra. In the Greek mythologies, Cassandra is the daughter of King Priam and Queen Hecuba of Troy. Apollo blessed her with the gift of prophecy but later cursed her for enjoying his gift but not falling in love with him. Did you know that over 7,000 girls born in the United States in 1990 were named Cassandra? Unfortunately, in 2021, only about 493 girls are called Cassandra.

National Byron Day is celebrated on May 2 in honor of all those lucky people bearing the name Byron. Some, known as toponymic names, refer to the place from which they derive. Byron, for example, originates from Byram, a town in North Yorkshire, England. The name is associated with prominent Englishmen, ranging from military officers to explorers, actors, and artists. It also cuts outside Europe, and many Americans bear it. An interesting thing about the name is that some people like it, as much as they hate it, all because of one person they dislike.

National Gabriel Day is an unofficial holiday set on April 26 to celebrate and honor all the Gabriels out there. There are so many great Gabriels out there to celebrate and you could be one of them! While this name is strongly related to religion, many non-religious people choose this name for their children. So, if your name is Gabriel, take yourself out on a date and enjoy your own company. If you know a Gabriel, spend the day doing their favorite thing with them.
