Today we honor Jeroným. Happy name day, Jeroným!
Jeroným is the Czech form of Jerome, which is of Greek origin and means "sacred name".
St. Jerome (4th century) was a scholar who prepared the Latin Vulgate, the standard accepted text of the Bible in the common language of the time. He is often portrayed with a lion from the legend that he removed a thorn from the lion's pad and won the beast's lifelong loyalty.
