Around 244,000 Americans share this name, with almost 39,000 of them being in California alone. This name has multiple variants in several languages including Arabic, Amharic, Yiddish, and Mongolian.
World Creativity and Innovation Day
World Creativity and Innovation Day is observed every year on April 21 to create awareness about the importance of creativity and innovation in all aspects of human development. The day was adopted by a resolution of the United Nations (U.N.) and designated for April 21 in 2018. Creativity and innovation are also vital in achieving the sustainable development goals set out by the U.N. Though both terms are often used interchangeably, creativity and innovation are distinct concepts that work hand in hand to achieve the desired end.
There’s Nothing Like a Dame Day
There’s Nothing Like a Dame Day is celebrated on April 17. The day was created to honor the women of the theater and films. The idea was further popularized when veteran actresses Dames Eileen Atkins, Judi Dench, Joan Plowright, and Maggie Smith came together for the documentary “There’s Nothing Like a Dame.” We are here to show you how you can celebrate the day in the best way possible and tell you how the term ‘Dame’ has changed over the years. It went from being a female ruler to something that referred to all women. In the U.K., a Dame is a woman who has been honored for her work for a long time.
