July 16
Why this day? Carmelina is a short form of Carmela, and shares its name day.
Carmelina is celebrated in Argentina on July 16.
Carmelina is the Argentine version of Carmela, a name that smells of fertile soil and vineyards, with roots in the Latin Carmelus that evoke Mount Carmel. It is a name that sounds like a wise grandmother, a generous neighbor, and a woman with great style, loaded with that South American warmth that doesn't need filters to shine.
Her personality is pure energy: she loves a barbecue, has the ability to solve any mess with a good chat and a passed mate, and her laugh is contagious. She is loyal to the bone, a bit stubborn when she wants to be (and very much when she doesn't), but always with her heart on her sleeve and the patience of a saint to put up with her loved ones.
