Emília

Unbeknownst to me today is officially my name day. Well, it is in the form of Emília. Every Hungarian has a name day, in which their name is celebrated on that day. People celebrate it in different ways; some treat it like a birthday, some consider it to be more important than a birthday, and some acknowledge it but don't really celebrate it at all. This is very exciting for me, because it makes me feel even more like a Hungarian. I officially have a name day and now consider myself more a part of this culture.
