A '''baptismal name''' is a name given to a newly-baptised Orthodox Christian. For a lengthy time in Orthodox history, Orthodox Christians are have been given the names of Orthodox saints.

The following is a list of names whohave:* Orthodox saints, perhaps unexpectedly, have attached to either the original name (e.g. Theophany for Tiffany) or to a diminutive (e.g. Gerald for Jerry), or* Orthodox saints attached whose names mean the same thing (e.g. St Alban for Bianca [both mean 'white'], or St Maurice for Blake [both mean 'black']).* If these are not available, a 'closest match' may be given, where the name sounds similar to thema saint's name (e.g. St Rumon for Raymond).

(Note: However, this is not designed to be a list of for existing matchups between names with which have no real connectionrelation (e.g. For example, Hannah can be matched with St Anna, because it's the same name; but Panayiotis for Peter and Panayiotis have no direct relation).
