What alternate English name for Bastille Day translates the French phrase Quatorze juillet?

The alternate English name for Bastille Day that translates the French phrase *Quatorze juillet* is **The Fourteenth of July**.

In French, the holiday is commonly called *le 14 juillet*, literally “the 14th of July.” English-speaking countries often use “Bastille Day,” referring to the storming of the Bastille prison in Paris on 14 July 1789. The date also recalls the Fête de la Fédération, a 1790 celebration of national unity.

France officially adopted 14 July as its national festival in 1880 during the Third Republic. “The Fourteenth of July” is therefore a translation of the date-based French name, not a separate holiday. “French Republic Day” is understandable but is not the established English rendering.
