National Dan Day is celebrated on August 31st across the world. This fabulous, wise-sounding, and immensely popular three-letter name’s origins and history have many takers, including the Hebrew dialect, the Scandinavian natives, and the Asian strongholds.
Dan is used mainly as a term of endearment for the name Daniel; it spans cultures and is a commonly used last name in the Chinese and Japanese communities. On this day, we celebrate the Dans, Dannys, Daniels, and every other version of the name for adding immense richness to our lives.
