Check your Birthday and see what your name may have been if you were French !
In the past a French child would be given the name of the saint on whose day their own birth fell. More recently it has become more common for the saint's name to be given as a second or middle name. This means that children often have two special days to celebrate.
So what would your name have been if you were French? and your parents had named you after the saint day you were born on? check out your "Saint Day" name below.
Below is the most common used Saints Day listing, certain regions of France have variations.
