Natalie

Natalie is a Late Latin name derived from the phrase natale domini, meaning birth of the Lord, referring to Christmas Day, and was traditionally given to girls born on or near December 25. It entered widespread European use through the early Christian martyr Saint Natalia of Nicomedia, venerated in both Eastern and Western churches. The name spread through French as Nathalie and through Russian and Slavic languages as Natalya or Natalia, both of which remain highly popular in those regions. Natasha arose as a Russian diminutive and is now used as an independent given name across many cultures.
