"The prohibition of Slavic names in baptism (1937)
Prot. Issue 1219 / Conclusion 1150
So that Slavic names are not given in baptism
Kingdom of Greece
The Holy Synod of the Church of Greece
Most Reverend Bishops of the Church of Greece

 

Following the number 582/598 of March 2nd 1934 Synod circular letter by which is forbidden on baptism to give the  babies non christian names, having in mind the conf. prot. 417/436 and the April 23rd, current year, document of the Ministry of Religion, we kindly ask you to give all the appropriate instructions to your clergy to also refuse to give to the baptizing children also slavic names, as this is contrary to the State and Church intended goal on the attachment of each Greek and animating him to the sharp Hellenism and the preservation of our national language.
The Holy Synod leaves the way and the means to the success of the intended goal to the vigilance 

of the respected bishops. However, he asked the Ministry of Religion to act accordingly and 

provide the priests with all appropriate assistance from the local Police authorities, if necessary.
