Hi. We are in the US and named our daughter Clare in 1994, after Clare of Assisi. (Clare (female) founded the Order of the Poor Clares in Assisi, Itally in the 1200's. She was mentored by the more famous religious man of peace, St. Francis, (male) of Assisi who founded the Franciscans.

I understand that St. Clare's feast day is August 11 in the 1200's. (the day she died). We got that date from the Poor Clares ( a Catholic order of nuns who celebrate that day as their founders feast day.)

Is is correct to assume that Clare's feast day, August 11, is also her Name Day?

Thanks
