Let's sum it up
In October, many representatives of the stronger sex have a men's name day. Therefore, future parents will be able to find an option to suit their taste. Moreover, there are several name days in October, but on different days. When choosing a name for your baby, you can use the options indicated in the Orthodox calendar at a distance of up to 8 days in both directions from the date of birth.
Men's names Alexander and Alexey, Fedor and Vladimir celebrate name days in October. Saint Nicholas, after whom the October birthday celebrations are named, is known throughout the world. He was canonized for his tireless service for the benefit of poor people in need of help.
The name Egor, previously sounded like Georgy, is also common. A saint named George the Greek zealously defended the Orthodox faith. For this he was beheaded. The Church canonized this Christian among the holy martyrs.

Women's name day October 12
Kazdoya Female Greek name. Means "brilliant". Martyr Kazdoya. Petronia. Feminine diminutive form of the male name “Peter”. Literally means "like a stone." Martyr Petronia.Today the memory of St. Theophan the Merciful of Gaza is celebrated.
The monk lived in the Syrian city of Gaza. He spent all his property helping the poor, the sick and his neighbors in difficult situations. Left in poverty, he did not at all regret the loss of his estate. However, a much greater test awaited him ahead. Feofan became seriously ill, and this caused him great suffering. Swelling and decomposing, his body exuded a terrible stench. But the monk accepted this test complacently, thanking the Lord for everything. When it was time to die, a strong storm broke out. His wife was very sad that she could not even bury him with dignity. One saint calmed her down, saying that as soon as he died, the storm would stop. And so it happened. As soon as his soul left his mortal body, there was silence. After death, the saint’s body was completely cleansed of pus and wounds and began to exude healing, gracious myrrh and fragrance.
They also honor the Venerable Cyriacus the Hermit of Palestine; Hieromartyr John, Archbishop of Latvia and Riga; martyrs Gaveddaya, Kazdoi and Dada.
