Where can I find out the Swedish name day for Lina?

I have a friend that is in the US and she is from Sweden. When is that name day or is there a website that has a listing.

Where can I find out the Swedish name day for Lina?
The name Lina had a place in the official Swedish name day list from 1988 to 2000, first on January 20th (like in Norway), later on May 20th. From 2001 the name is removed from the list altogether.





I suppose you can still celebrate her on May 20th, because that's the name day of Karolina, from which the name Lina might be derived.





In Finland they also have a Swedish name list (because they have a very old, influential Swedish-speaking minority, and there since 1995 Lina is celebrated on June 22nd, together with Paula and Paulina.





I don't know where the theory about September 23rd came from - that has been the day of Tekla for the last 400 Centuries (since 1993 together with Tea).
Reply:According to some websites with Scandinavian name days, name day for Lina is on January 20th.





i.e. here is a list - http://www.rusaanes.no/aron/default.aspx...
