Traditionally, name day celebrations (Polish: imieniny [imjɛˈɲinɘ] ⓘ) have often enjoyed a celebratory emphasis greater than that of birthday celebrations in Poland.[citation needed] However, birthday celebrations are increasingly popular and important, particularly among the young as well as the older generation in the territories regained after the Second World War due to remaining Prussian Protestant influences.
Name day celebrations involve the gathering and socialising of friends and family at the celebrant's home, as well as the giving of gifts and flowers at home and elsewhere, such as at the workplace. This tradition doesn't include regions of Upper Silesia and Kashubia. Local calendars often contain the names celebrated on a given day. If a name is celebrated on more than one day, it is customary to choose the first day after the celebrant's birthday.
