Nedjeljka

Nedjeljka is a Croatian feminine given name derived from the South Slavic word nedjelja, meaning Sunday, which itself traces back to the Old Church Slavonic nedělya, literally a day of no work or rest day. The name was traditionally given to girls born on a Sunday, following a widespread Christian European custom of naming children after the day of their birth or baptism. It functions as the feminine form of the masculine name Nedjeljko, and both names remain in use primarily in Croatia and among Croatian diaspora communities.
