About Koliada

Not a traditional name for a person, but this Slavic word has a lyrical, namelike sound. Koliada was an ancient festival that was incorporated into Christmas, and the word lives on in several Slavic languages to denote festive traditions. It possibly derives from a god or goddess of the returning sun, so it could be a name for a midwinter or new year baby.

Koliada for boys

The Bulgarian deity of the New Year — fitting for a baby due around the turn of the calendar year.

Pronounced koh-lee-AH-duh.
