October 12
Why this day? Serafin is a form of Seraphin, and shares its name day.
Serafin is celebrated in Germany on October 12.
Serafin comes from the Greek “seraphim,” meaning “burning” or “flaming,” and alludes to the fiery angels closest to God. In Argentina, it sounds like that friend who always shows up with maximum energy, whether at a barbecue or a philosophical discussion at 3 a.m. It’s not a name that goes unnoticed, but one that enters the room with noise and leaves lasting impressions.
He’s a guy with a strange mix of mysticism and pragmatism: You can watch him gaze at the universe for a while, and then he’ll fix your car with duct tape and good will. He has that typical Porteño spark of irony, knowing life is short, so he’d rather laugh at everything.

What science says. The effect of a first name on character is documented, and several scientific studies have looked into it. They do not show that a name contains a hidden personality, but that it captures attention, triggers social expectations and slightly changes the way others respond to us.

In love, Serafin doesn’t play the “playing hard to get” game because the effort is too great; he prefers clarity and familiarity. He seeks a partner who can tolerate his nighttime ramblings and share silence with him without it becoming uncomfortable. Once he has won you over, he is loyal until the end, even if he sometimes makes you laugh so much you don’t know whether he’s flirting with you or teasing you affectionately.
