List of saints

This is an incomplete list of Christian saints in alphabetical order by Christian name, but if necessary by surname, the place or attribute part of name as well.
There are more than 10,000 Roman Catholic saints and beatified people. Among the Eastern Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox Communions, the numbers may be even higher, since there is no fixed process of "canonisation" and each individual jurisdiction within the two Orthodox communions independently maintains parallel lists of saints that have only partial overlap.
Note that the Anglican Communion has only ever canonised one saint--King Charles I of England (see Society of King Charles the Martyr).

This is an incomplete list of Christian saints in alphabetical order by Christian name, but if necessary by surname, the place or attribute part of name as well.
There are more than 10,000 Roman Catholic saints and beatified people. Among the Eastern Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox Communions, the numbers may be even higher, since there is no fixed process of "canonisation" and each individual jurisdiction within the two Orthodox communions independently maintains parallel lists of saints that have only partial overlap.
Note that the Anglican Communion has only ever canonised one saint--King Charles I of England (see Society of King Charles the Martyr). However, it recognises pre-Reformation saints. Persons who have led lives of celebrated sanctity or missionary zeal are included in the Calendar of the Prayer Book "without thereby enrolling or commending such persons as saints of the Church". Similarly, any individuals commemorated in the Lutheran calendar of saints will be listed as well.
In France, it was usual to christen a child with the name of the saint who was venerated on the day the child was born.
Wikipedia contains a calendar of saints listed by the day of the year on which they are traditionally venerated, as well as a Chronological list of saints and blesseds, listed by their date of death.
