It's time to celebrate all the amazing Calvins out there on National Calvin Day! Show them some love and appreciation for being awesome.
Get ready to celebrate all the Calvins out there on National Calvin Day, occurring every April 10! This special day is dedicated to all individuals who bear the name Calvin, which has an interesting history behind it. The name originates from the Latin word "calvinus," meaning "bald." But don't worry – being bald is not a requirement to celebrate this holiday! On this day, we honor all the Calvins in our lives and recognize their unique qualities and contributions. So let's raise a glass (or a hairbrush) to all the Calvins and make this day a memorable one!
