Copy it and paste it anywhere you can’t type Greek — a text, a card, a cake.
Pass it on. Tell them whose name they carry — and that this day is theirs to keep.
Χρόνια Πολλά
Send Chrysostomos a Χρόνια Πολλά
A name day matters more than a birthday in a Greek family — and everyone sends Χρόνια Πολλά. Here is a card to send, and the correct Greek to write, whether or not you can type it yourself.
Warm — someone close
Formal — an elder, or with respect
The card and the wishes are in Greek — the way you would actually send them. We never machine-translate; these are fixed, correct greetings, and the name is woven in only where Greek grammar lets us do it without guessing.
