Catholic Names for Boys in the Konkani language often derive from Hebrew, Greek, and Latin names found in the Old and New Testament Biblical canons. Traditionally, Goan Catholic names were chosen based on the saint’s name mentioned in the calendar on the day of the child’s birth. However, modern trends see a departure from these traditional practices, with many opting for trendy names unrelated to saints.
