Celebrate with us! International Name Day showcases the vital role of names in society. It's just one aspect of Celebrate Your Name Week, a brilliant 7-day exploration of one's self, family history, and language that happens every March!
Celebrate Your Name Week launched in 1997 to encourage people to enjoy the wide world of names, especially their own! Names Alliance manages the CYNW website. Contact namesalliance.org for materials to help your family or classroom celebrate.
KU4R is a workgroup within Names Alliance that grew out of the support group Karens United. Its focus is countering identity-based prejudice related to names.
