Summary/Abstract: The habit of forming people’s names starting from the name of the religious holidays has been a quite common practice among people from the Western and Eastern Europe, at the beginning of the 4th century. These anthroponyms are a proof of the linguistic continuity and geographic permanence of the Christian terms from which they originate, providing a solid base for the reconstruction of a people’s religious history. In this article we shall discuss the French personal names which are formed from the names of the most important French religious holidays.
