Natalee

Natalee is a modern English respelling of Natalie, which derives from the Late Latin name Natalia, itself rooted in the Latin phrase natale domini, meaning birth of the Lord, referring to Christmas. The name became widespread in the Christian world partly through Saint Natalia, a 4th-century martyr venerated in both Eastern and Western traditions. Natalee follows a pattern of creative respellings popular in contemporary English-speaking cultures, distinguished from the standard forms chiefly by its altered ending. Related forms include Natalie, Natalia, Nathalie, and Natalya.
