Sylvester = new year?

Hi there my fellow tranceaddicts.

I have a question for you guys.

In Israel, when we celebrate the new civil year (we have a calander based on the Jew tradition) we often refer to it as the sylvester.

Now, Sylvester was some sort of pope who were an Anti-cemist, but that's beside the point.

My question is, do you english-speakers cristians call the night of the new year's "sylvester"?

in Czech Republic we also say Sylvester, dunno why, but it might be some kind of "eastern" term for New year's eve?

I know polish and slovak people use sylvester too.

But we do spell it "Silvester"
